He fiber mineral kūlohelohe ka fiber Sepiolite, kahi ʻano fibrous o ka mineral sepiolite, i kapa ʻia ʻo alpha-sepiolite.

Hoʻohana ʻia ke olonā Sepiolite ma ke ʻano he adsorbent, mea hoʻomaʻemaʻe, deodorant, mea hoʻoikaika, mea hoʻokuʻu, mea thixotropic, mea hoʻopiha, a pēlā aku i ka mālama ʻana i ka wai, catalysis, rubber, pena, mea hoʻouluulu, meaʻai a me nā ʻano ʻoihana ʻē aʻe. Eia kekahi, ʻo ke kūpaʻa paʻakai maikaʻi a me ke kūpaʻa wela kiʻekiʻe o ka sepiolite e hana ia i mea lepo wili kiʻekiʻe no ka wili ʻaila a me ka wili geothermal.
