Hectorite, often also known as Hectorite, is a specific type of natural clay that is in high demand in various industries. Hectorite was first discovered in 1941 in California, specifically in the Hector area that gave the mineral its name. It is a type of layered silky clay from the smectite group, which is particularly valued for its high water absorption and ability to take on a high volume. Due to these properties, Hectorite has a wide range of applications in many industries.
Hectorite is often used in the cosmetics industry, where it is popular for the production of various face masks, creams and medicated balms. Its water absorption ability and high volume allow the products to better hydrate and soften the skin. Hectorite is also often used in the building material industry, where it is added to concrete and mortar to increase their viscosity and improve consistency. Another major industry in which Hectorite is used extensively is the chemical industry. Here it is mainly used as a thickener or as a component of lubricants and plastics. In addition, Hectorite is also used for the production of paints, ceramics and even as a cleaning agent.
