Ekukhiqizweni kwerabha, i-sepiolite fiber ifakwa emathayini, emapayipini, kanye nasezintweni ezivikela imvelo. Yakha inethiwekhi ngaphakathi kwe-matrix yerabha, isabalalisa ukucindezeleka ngokulinganayo futhi inciphise ukuqhekeka lapho isetshenziswa ngokuphindaphindiwe. Lokhu kwandisa isikhathi sokuphila kwemikhiqizo yerabha, ikakhulukazi ezisetshenzisweni ezicindezela kakhulu njengamathayi ezimoto, lapho ukuqina kubalulekile khona. Ngaphezu kwalokho, kunciphisa isidingo sezinto zokuqinisa zokwenziwa, kunciphisa izindleko zokukhiqiza kanye nokuthuthukisa ubungane bemvelo.

Kumapulasitiki, i-sepiolite fiber ithuthukisa ukuzinza kobukhulu, ivimbela ukugoba noma ukuncipha lapho ivezwa izinguquko zokushisa. Isetshenziswa ezingxenyeni ezibunjwe ngomjovo, ezintweni zokupakisha, kanye nezingxenye zezimboni, lapho ukusebenza okulinganayo kubalulekile khona. Ukuhambisana kwe-fiber nama-polymer ahlukahlukene—kufaka phakathi i-polyethylene, i-polypropylene, kanye ne-PVC—kwenza iguquguquke kuzo zonke izinhlobo zepulasitiki ezahlukene.

Ngokungafani nemicu yengilazi, i-sepiolite fiber ayigugi, inciphisa ukuguguleka kwemishini yokucubungula futhi yandisa isikhathi sokuphila kwemishini. Imvelaphi yayo yemvelo ihambisana nesidingo esikhulayo sezinto ezihlala isikhathi eside, okukhanga abakhiqizi abahlose ukunciphisa umthelela wabo emvelweni. Kubakhiqizi berabha nepulasitiki, i-sepiolite fiber inikeza inhlanganisela ephumelelayo yamandla, ukuguquguquka, kanye nokusimama.
