Illite（Cat No.:M063389）, is a naturally occurring clay mineral belonging to the mica group. It is found in sedimentary rocks and soils and is composed of fine-grained, layered silicate sheets. Illite is characterized by its ability to swell and shrink with changes in moisture content, making it valuable in geotechnical engineering for its role in soil behavior. It is also used in the ceramics industry, particularly in the production of ceramics and pottery due to its plasticity and ability to enhance the workability of clay. Illite’s properties have various applications in agriculture, construction, and the arts.
