1. Formula y'ibinyabutabire: Mg8(H2O)4[Si6O16]2(OH)4•8H2O

2. Imyunyu ngugu y'ibumba igizwe na fibrous magnesium silicate
3. Silikate ya aluminiyumu na manyeziyumu ifite imiterere y'umunyururu
4. Nta kirabagirana, nta ngaruka mbi, nta buryohe, nta mwanda
5. Igipimo cyo kugabanuka gito, ubwisanzure bwiza n'ubushyuhe, ubushobozi bwo kwinjira neza mu kirere
6. Kurwanya ubushyuhe, kurwanya umunyu, kurwanya aside

Formule y'imiti: (Si12)(Mg8)O30(OH)4(OH2)4·8H2O
Ubutare bw'ibumba rya Manyeziyumu Silikate rikomoka kuri Hydro

Ibikoresho by'ingenzi byakozwe mu byondo byo mu nyanja ni ifu ya sepiolite, ikaba ari imyunyu ngugu y'ibumba rya manyeziyumu ifite amazi kandi idafite uburozi, idafite impumuro mbi, kandi idakoresha imirasire. Ifite ubuso bunini bwihariye mu byuma bitari iby'icyuma (ntarengwa kugeza kuri 900m2/g) kandi ifite imiterere yihariye y'ibice by'ibumba, izwiho kuba imyunyu ngugu ikomeye cyane mu byondo.

Bimwe mu bintu bifatika ku buso bwa sepiolite (nk'ubuke buke bw'ubuso, gusimbuza iyoni za manyeziyumu n'izindi iyoni, nibindi) bituma ubwayo iba ingirakamaro nk'ingufu mu gukora ibikorwa bimwe na bimwe. Kubwibyo, sepiolite si inyunganiramirire nziza gusa ahubwo ni n'ingufu nziza zo gutwara ibintu n'ibinyabutabire.
