It is heat resistan.it is low in contraction ,but high in plasticity. It dissolves in hedrochloric acid,it is insulating .
Sepiolite Description: Sepiolite is silicate clay mineral in fibre form which is rich in magnesium, and it is also called magnesium and silicate mineral in moisture chain layers. It can be divided into soil Sepiolite (Stereoplasm sepiolite) came from deposition, and massiveness Sepiolite (light Sepiolite) came from hydrothermal deposit. The specific gravity of the lightness is 2-2.3, hardness is 2-2.5. Nontoxic and odorless, it is harmless to people. its melting point is 1500-1700, so it’s heat resistant. It is low in contraction, but high in plasticity. It dissolves in hedrochloric acid. It is insulating and salt resistant, etc. A. Chemical Composition:
