What is sepiolite?

Sepiolite,formerly known as Meerschaum (sea froth),is non-swelling,lightweight,porous clay with a large specific surface area.Unlike other clays,the individual particles of sepiolite have a needle-like morphology.The high surface area and porosity,as well as the unusual particle shape of this clay account for its outstanding sorption capacity and colloidal properties that make it a valuable material for wide range of applications.

Sepiolite is a very uncommon clay because of both its peculiar characteristics and scarce occurrence.There are very few commercial deposits in the world.

Sepiolite uses

Cat and pet litters	The popularity of sepiolite pet litters is dut to ots light weight,high liquid absorption and odour control characteristics.Sepiolite absorbs pet urine and has a dehydrating effect on solid faeces which minimises bad odours and inhibits bacteria proliferation.
Industrial absorbents	Sepiolite absorbs liquid spills and leaks keeping work and transit areas dry and safe.Sepiolite is a non-flammable material with high liquid absorbing capacity,suitable mechanical strength of the granules even in wet conditions,and chemical linertness which avoids reaction with absorbed liquids.
Waste treatment	Sepiolite absorbs toxic and hazardous wastes in stabilization or inertisation treatments.
Carrier for chemicals	Sepiolite absorbs active chemiclas,as pesticides,remaining free-flowing and allowing an easy use and effective application of the product in the field.
Moisture control	Sepiolite adsorbs excess humidity preventing condensation,corrosion,the proliferation of microorganisms and unpleasant odours.
Household Uses	Sepiolite has numerous domestic applications such as moisture control,containment of accidental liquid spillages,and use in ashtrays to avoid smoke odour,control of liquid leakages and odours in dustbins,odour removal in refrigerators.etc.
Animal Feedstuffs	Sepiolite its registered in the EUas a technoligical additive for animal feed(E-562).Sepiolite products are used as binders and anti-caking of free flowing additives as well as excipient of supplements.Sepiolite-based rheological products are aslo used as suspending additives in liquid feeds for pigs and ruminants.
Fertilisers	Sepiolite improves stability and components suspension of fluid fertilisers in spraying or fertirrigation applications.
Polymers and Elastomers	The use of sepiolite fillers improve processing,dimensional stability,mechanical strength and thermal resistance.
Roof Panels	Sepiolite improves binding of the components while increasing the fire resistance.
Construction additives	Sepiolite provides thixotropy making for easier application,preventing sagging and providing a better quality finish in mortars,plasters and concrete.It is also used as a processing aid in the manufacture of fibre-reinforced cement products.
Bitumens	Sepiolite allows controlling the rheological properties in heat application systems,improving fire resistance.It also improves the stability and the application in emulsions and asphalt in solvent products.
Rheological additives for aqueous systems	Sepiolite provides stability,pseudoplasticity and thixotropy in different applications as paints,adhesives,mastics and sealants.
Rheological additives for organic systems	Organically modified sepiolite allows controlling the rheological behabiour of different solvent-based systems as paints,greases,resins and inks enhancing their stability under a wide temperature range and making for easier applications.
