Umgubo weWollastonite, izinto zeminerali ezingaphiliyo ezisebenza kakuhle, uye waduma kakhulu kumacandelo okuvelisa kwihlabathi liphela ngenxa yeempawu zawo ezizodwa zomzimba nezekhemikhali. Ivela kwi-calcium metasilicate yendalo (CaSiO2)₃() ores, le arhente yokuzalisa kunye nokuqinisa eguquguqukayo inika ixabiso elikhethekileyo kwiiseramikhi, iiplastiki, iipeyinti, ulwakhiwo, kunye nokusetyenziswa kweemoto.

Ngokwesakhiwo, i-wollastonite yiminerali ye-chain silicate eyinxalenye yeqela le-pyroxenoid, ekhazimlayo kwinkqubo ye-triclinic. Uphawu lwayo olucacileyo yimo yayo efana nenaliti/i-fibrous particle morphology, kunye ne-aspect ratios eqhelekileyo ukusuka kwi-8:1 ukuya kwi-30:1, kunye namanqanaba e-premium afikelela kwi-50:1. Olu lwakhiwo lwe-acicular lwenziwa ngemixokelelwane engapheliyo ye-[SiO2].₄i-tetrahedra edityaniswe yi-calcium ions. Iminerali ibonakala imhlophe ukuya kwemhlophe, kunye nobunzima be-Mohs obuyi-4.5–5.5, uxinano lwe-2.75–2.9 g/cm³, kunye nendawo yokunyibilika kwi-1540°C. Inika uzinzo oluhle kakhulu lweekhemikhali, ukufunxwa kweoyile okuncinci, ukugcinwa komswakama okuncinci, ukwanda kobushushu okuncinci, kunye nobumhlophe obuphezulu.

Kwimisebenzi yemizi-mveliso, isakhiwo esifana nenaliti se-wollastonite sinika iziphumo ezimangalisayo zokuqinisa. Kwi-ceramics, kunciphisa amaqondo obushushu okutshisa ngama-50–100°I-C, inciphisa imijikelo yokudubula, yonyusa amandla, ithintela ukuqhekeka, kwaye iphucula ukuguda kwe-glaze. Kwiiplastiki nakwirabha, yonyusa kakhulu amandla okuxinana, ukuqina, kunye nozinzo lobukhulu ngelixa inciphisa iindleko zezinto. Ishishini leengubo liyisebenzisa ukuphucula ukuqina, ukumelana nokugqwala, kunye nokugquma, kunciphisa ukuxhomekeka kwi-titanium dioxide.

Isebenza njengendawo ye-asbestos enobuhlobo nokusingqongileyo kwiimveliso zokungqubana (iibrake pads, ii-clutch facings) kunye nezinto ezingatshiyo. Ekwakhiweni kwayo, yonyusa amandla ekhonkrithi kunye nokumelana nomlilo ngelixa inciphisa ukukhutshwa kwekhabhoni. Ishishini lephepha liyazuza kubuchule balo bokwandisa ukungabonakali, ukuguda, kunye nokuprintwa. Ikwasetyenziswa kwi-metallurgy njenge-slag yokukhusela kunye nezolimo njengesilungisi se-pH yomhlaba.

Njengoko abavelisi bezama izinto ezizinzileyo nezisebenza kakuhle, i-wollastonite powder iyaqhubeka nokwandisa ubukho bayo kwimarike. Iingenelo zayo ezikhethekileyo zesakhiwo ziyibeka njengeminerali esebenzayo eyimfuneko kuphuhliso lwemizi-mveliso yanamhlanje.
