Ko te muka Sepiolite he momo muka kohuke tūturu, he momo muka o te kohuke sepiolite, e kiia nei ko te α-sepiolite. Ko te Sepiolite he momo kohuke silicate mekameka paparanga. I roto i te hanganga o te sepiolite, ka whakatakotoria he paparanga o te konupūmā octahedron i waenganui i ngā tetrahedron hāora silicon e rua, ka hanga he wae hanganga paparanga momo 2:1. He tonu te paparanga tetrahedral, ā, ka hurihia te ahunga o te hāora hohe i roto i te paparanga i ia wā. Ka hangaia e te paparanga octahedral he awaawa kua whakaritea kia rerekē i waenganui i ngā paparanga o runga me raro. He rite te aronga o te awaawa ki te tuaka muka, ka taea ai e ngā ngota wai, ngā kationa konganuku, ngā ngota iti waro me ētahi atu te tomo. He pai te ātete wera o te Sepiolite. He pai hoki ngā āhuatanga whakawhiti katote me te catalytic o te Sepiolite, tae atu ki te ātete waikura, te ātete i te hihi, te whakamarumaru, te whakamarumaru wera me ētahi atu āhuatanga pai, inā koa ko te Si₂OH i roto i tōna hanganga ka taea te tauhohe tika ki ngā mea waro hei whakaputa i ngā hua kohuke waro.

E whakamahia whānuitia ana hoki te Sepiolite i roto i ngā mara o te purenga, te tukatuka tino pai me te whakarerekētanga. Ka taea te whakamahi i te Sepiolite hei adsorbent, hei purifier, hei deodorant, hei whakakaha, hei whakatārewatanga, hei thixotropic agent, hei whakakī, me ētahi atu i roto i te maimoatanga wai, te catalysis, te rapa, te paninga, te tongi matū, te whāngai me ētahi atu ahumahi. Hei tāpiri, he pai te ātete tote me te ātete pāmahana teitei o te sepiolite, nō reira ka taea te whakamahi hei rauemi keri paru kounga teitei i roto i te keri hinu, te keri geothermal me ētahi atu āhuatanga.

Nō te muka kohuke te muka Sepiolite, i ahu mai i te toka kohuke muka. Ko ōna wāhanga matua he momo waikura, pērā i te silica, te alumina, te waikura konupora, me ētahi atu. Ko ōna pūtake matua he momo asbestos katoa, pērā i te chrysotile, te miro bluestone, me ētahi atu. Kei roto i te muka kohukemuka silicate konumohe, muka karāhe, muka gypsum, muka waro, me ētahi atu
