Skamol Vermiculite board ”THE BEST!”

Skamol Vermiculite board V-1100 (600)

A high-density vermiculite board that can withstand temperatures up to 2012°F (1100°C). This board is stronger than most fiberboard and can be cut and tooled just like wood.

1.Work it like wood. Vermiculite board can be cut or tooled like wood or particle board.

3. Pre-fire vermiculite boards at 55ºF (30ºC) above process temperature. After cutting to size, determine the process temperature for your intended project. Then fire at a rate of 500ºF (278ºC) per hour to a temperature approximately 55ºF (30ºC) higher than your planned process temperature. For example, if the process temperature for your intended project is 1525ºF (829ºC), you will add 55ºF (30ºC) to that temperature and pre-fire the vermiculite to 1580ºF (860ºC). Hold at that temperature for 30 minutes, then crash cool the kiln.

4. Line with fiber paper after pre-firing.

5. Handle the vermiculite carefully. The boards can become brittle after multiple firings, so always treat it carefully.

6. Avoid using vermiculite boards as kiln shelves. The boards are not designed to function as kiln shelves. Using them as such can put your project (and possibly your kiln) at risk.
