1. Ifomula yeMichiza: Mg8(H2O)4[Si6O16]2(OH)4•8H2O

2. Iminerali yodongwe ye-fibrous magnesium silicate
3. I-hydrous aluminiyam-magnesium silicate enesakhiwo sekhonkco
4. Ayinabukhazikhazi, ayinabungozi, ayinancasa, ayinangcoliso
5. Izinga lokunciphisa eliphantsi, iplastiki elungileyo kunye ne-Insulation, i-adsorbability enamandla
6. Ukumelana nobushushu, ukuxhathisa ityuwa, ukuxhathisa kwe-asidi

Ifomula yemichiza : (Si12)(Mg8)O30(OH)4(OH2)4·8H2O
I-Hydrous Magnesium Silicate Minerals yodongwe

Eyona nto iphambili ekrwada yodaka lolwandle yi-sepiolite powder, eyiminerali yodongwe ye-magnesium silicate eyi-hydrated ecocekileyo, engeyotyhefu, engenavumba, kwaye i-radioactive.Inowona mmandla mkhulu weendawo ezithile kwiiminerali ezingezizo ezentsimbi (ubukhulu Ukuya kuthi ga kwi-900m2/g) kunye nesakhiwo esikhethekileyo sepore, samkelwa njengesona simbiwa sinamandla sodongwe.

Ezinye zeepropathi zomphezulu we-sepiolite (ezifana ne-acidity ebuthakathaka yomphezulu, ukutshintshwa kwee-ion ze-magnesium kunye nezinye i-ion, njl.Ke ngoko, i-sepiolite ayiyona nje i-adsorbent elungileyo kodwa ikwayinto entle kunye ne-catalyst carrier.
