A special clay with endless uses
The outstanding sorptive and colloidal properties of
sepiolite provide specific solutions for a wide variety of
industrial applications.
_ Cat and Pet litters: The popularity of sepiolite pet litters
is due to its 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 inertness
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
chemicals, 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 is registered in the EU as a
technological additive for animal feed (E-562). Sepiolite
products are used as binders and anti-caking of freeflowing
additives as well as excipient of supplements.
Sepiolite-based rheological products are also 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.
