PRODUCT OVERVIEW

DESCRIPTION

Bentonite is a naturally occurring clay composed primarily of montmorillonite. It has strong swelling and absorption properties, making it useful in a variety of industrial applications. In drilling fluids, bentonite is used to stabilize boreholes and control viscosity. It is also employed in foundry sands, iron ore pelletizing, and as a binder in the construction industry. Bentonite's ability to form thixotropic gels makes it valuable in personal care products, pharmaceuticals, and as a clarifying agent in wine and juice production. Additionally, it is used in environmental applications for soil sealing and waste containment.
