What are the properties of SEPIOCLAY® Sepiolite powder?
SEPIOCLAY® Sepiolite acts as a flow and consistency regulator in systems by absorbing fluid compounds. It enhances the dispersion and distribution of fillers and fibers by forming a reticulated structure within the matrix. Due to its morphology and surface characteristics, it also acts as a reinforcing filler with polar polymers. Additionally, its ability to adsorb microorganisms and chemical compounds, thanks to its chemical inertness, makes it a valuable addition to many industrial formulations.
What is Sepiolite ?
Sepiolite is a mineral belonging to the group of clays with a fibrous structure. Each fiber consists of a multitude of tunnels (or canaliculi) approximately 1 nm² in size, evenly spaced. This specific configuration of elongated hollow bricks gives Sepiolite a remarkable specific surface area.
