Application

Sepiolite serves as a versatile product with a range of applications due to its unique properties. Its fibrous and clay-like nature, along with a structure that includes an additional SiO4 tetrahedron making it 50% larger than similar materials like attapulgite, enhances its effectiveness as an absorbent. This characteristic makes it ideal for use in cat litter, industrial absorbents, and wastewater treatment. Moreover, sepiolite's natural attributes allow it to function efficiently as a carrier for insecticides and herbicides, facilitating their even distribution. With a continued demand anticipated particularly in industrial and animal feed sectors, sepiolite's role in these areas is expected to expand.
