Summary
The Institute of General and Inorganic Chemistry offers vermiculite-based impregnation for the production of fire-retardant materials in a fiberglass matrix texture under a manufacturing agreement and is looking for partners to conclude a distribution services agreement.
Description
Vermiculite-based impregnations are used to create fire-retardant materials with high heat resistance and are used in construction, aviation, shipbuilding, and other industries. These materials are often combined with a fiberglass matrix to enhance the fire resistance of structures.
Major global manufacturers of vermiculite-based impregnations:
1. Promat International (Belgium)
- Features: One of the leaders in the production of fire-retardant materials, including impregnations for fiberglass matrices using vermiculite.
2. Morgan Advanced Materials (UK)
- Features: The company offers fire protection solutions, including vermiculite-based materials for various industries.
3. Isolatek International (USA)
- Features: The company specializes in fire-retardant materials for construction and industry, including vermiculite-based impregnations.
4. Vermiculite Products (South Africa)
- Features: Manufacturer of vermiculite-based materials, including fire-retardant impregnations.
5. Skamol Group (Denmark)
- Features: The company produces fire-retardant materials, including coatings and impregnations using vermiculite.
The Institute of General and Inorganic Chemistry has developed a vermiculite-based composition for producing fire-retardant materials in a fiberglass matrix.
This information is included in the Catalog "100 Best Developments of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus for the National Economy in 2022–2023," 2024, pp. 122–123.

Advantages and Innovations
The composition is technologically advanced, impregnates fiberglass well, prevents sticking on wringer rollers, and after impregnation and subsequent drying at 170 °C, the tensile strength increases by 1.7–4.4 times compared to the original fabric. The cost of 1 kg of dispersion is 2–2.5 times lower than that of imported equivalents.

Additional comments
The Institute of General and Inorganic Chemistry is a leading scientific institution conducting research in the field of chemistry.
The Institute's main areas of activity are:
Development of technologies for processing polymineral potassium and phosphate ores, conversion methods for producing potassium sulfate, beneficiation technologies for sylvinite ores, and improvement of the quality of mineral fertilizers. Development of initial data and justification of technological approaches for organizing new mining and processing facilities. Engineering support for technological projects to create new large-scale facilities for processing mineral salts and their byproducts.
Validation of technologies for the production of new forms of mineral fertilizers, including complex fertilizers containing microelements and plant growth stimulants. Development of modifying additives and hydrophobic compositions for the agglomeration of finely dispersed chemical products, and technologies for producing granulated materials by pelletizing and pressing.
Control of structure formation processes, thermodynamic and aggregative stability of oil and organomineral dispersions using chemical reagents, with the goal of creating new effective modifiers and composite materials for use in energy- and resource-saving technologies in civil engineering, road construction, and the oil refining industry.
Creation of new inorganic adsorbents, catalytically active and membrane materials for water treatment and purification of process liquids, and new composite and hybrid bioinorganic materials.
Adsorption surface modification, flocculation, and stabilization in heterogeneous salt dispersion systems using water-soluble polymers in mineral ore processing, water purification, and water treatment; development of inorganic coagulant and polymer flocculant compositions for wastewater treatment and dewatering of clay-salt dispersions.
Development of new chemical additives – plasticizers, water repellents, sealants, waterproofing, and anticorrosive materials for concrete and metal structures. Creation of new paints and varnishes (water-based, powder, heat-resistant, superhydrophobic, and superhydrophilic), and corrosion-protective coatings.
