ʻO ka fiber Sepiolite kahi ʻano fiber mineral kūlohelohe, ʻo ia hoʻi kahi ʻano fibrous o ka mineral sepiolite, i kapa ʻia ʻo α - sepiolite. ʻO Sepiolite kahi ʻano mineral silicate kaulahao papa. I loko o ke ʻano o ka sepiolite, ua hoʻopaʻa ʻia kahi papa o ka magnesia octahedron ma waena o ʻelua silicon oxygen tetrahedrons, e hana ana i kahi ʻāpana ʻano papa 2:1. Hoʻomau ka papa tetrahedral a hoʻohuli pinepine ʻia ke kuhikuhi o ka oxygen hana i loko o ka papa. Hoʻokumu ka papa octahedral i kahi kahawai i hoʻonohonoho ʻia ma waena o nā papa o luna a me lalo. Kūlike ke kuhikuhi o ke kahawai me ke axis fiber, e ʻae ana i nā mole wai, nā cations metala, nā mole liʻiliʻi organik a pēlā aku e komo. Loaʻa iā Sepiolite ke kūpaʻa wela maikaʻi. Loaʻa iā Sepiolite nā waiwai hoʻololi ion a me nā catalytic maikaʻi, a me ke kūpaʻa ʻana i ka corrosion, ke kūpaʻa ʻana i ka radiation, ka insulation, ka insulation wela a me nā waiwai maikaʻi ʻē aʻe, ʻoiai ʻo ka Si Oh i loko o kona ʻano hiki ke hana pololei me nā mea ola e hana i nā derivatives mineral organik.

Hoʻohana nui ʻia ʻo Sepiolite ma nā kahua o ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe, ka hana superfine a me ka hoʻololi ʻana. Hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia ʻo Sepiolite ma ke ʻano he adsorbent, purifier, deodorant, reinforcement agent, suspending agent, thixotropic agent, filler, etc. i ka mālama wai, catalysis, rubber, coating, chemical fertilizer, feed a me nā ʻoihana ʻē aʻe. Eia kekahi, he kūpaʻa paʻakai maikaʻi ko ka sepiolite a me ke kūpaʻa wela kiʻekiʻe, no laila hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia ma ke ʻano he mea lepo wili kiʻekiʻe i ka wili ʻaila, ka wili geothermal a me nā ʻano ʻē aʻe.

No ka fiber Sepiolite ka fiber mineral, i loaʻa mai ka pōhaku mineral fibrous. ʻO kona mau ʻāpana nui he mau oxides like ʻole, e like me silica, alumina, magnesium oxide, a pēlā aku. ʻO kona mau kumu nui he mau ʻano asbestos āpau, e like me chrysotile, bluestone cotton, a pēlā aku. Loaʻa i ka fiber mineralolonā silicate aluminika, olonā aniani, olonā gypsum, olonā kalapona, a pēlā aku.
