I-Halloysiteiyiminerali ye-silicate, kanti ubumba lwe-halloysite luncane futhi alunawo ukungcola. Isetshenziswa kakhulu ekukhiqizweni kwezinto zobumba zezinga eliphezulu, i-porcelain kagesi, izinto ezivuthayo kanye nezinto eziphikisayo. Ukusetshenziswa kwe-halloysite kufana nokwe-kaolinite, futhi futhi kuyimpahla eluhlaza yezinto zobumba zekhwalithi ephezulu. Ingasetshenziswa embonini yamakhemikhali ukuhlanganisa izisefo zama-molecule kanye nesithwali se-catalyst, kanye nesigcwalisi embonini yepulasitiki, irabha kanye nopende.
