Bentonite is a naturally occurring clay mainly composed of Montmorillonite. It has excellent swelling, absorption, and binding properties, suitable for drilling, foundry, construction, agriculture, and industrial applications.
Key Specifications:
Color: Grey / White / Cream
Swelling Index: Sodium â?¥24 ml, Calcium 5â??12 ml
The foundry-grade bentonite powder is used as a bonding material in the preparation of moulding sand for the production of iron, steel, and non-ferrous casting. Sodium Bentonite is the preferred binding agent for use in the bonding of metals and foundry sands, although calcium Bentonite enhances foundry sandâ??s flow ability and figures in the manufacture of nonferrous mouldings.
Drilling Grade (API Grades, OCMA)
Drilling-grade bentonite is a naturally occurring clay containing the clay minerals of smectite. It can also contain accessory minerals, such as quartz, mica, feldspar, and calcite. The Drilling Grade Bentonite Powder is used as a mud constituent for oil and water well drilling. Its roles are mainly to seal the borehole walls, remove drill cuttings, and lubricate the cutting head. Our Drilling Grade Bentonite Powder has high swelling and good colloidal nature, which can increase the viscosity of suspension in the drilling mud and also can increase the lubrication of drilling, as well as for the rig-freeing agent.
Piling Grade
Bentonite slurry is one of the most common excavation fluid used in constructing diaphragm walls. The gel strength and viscosity properties of the bentonite clay allow for cutting suspension and removal. Piling Grade Bentonite Powder is used traditionally as a support and lubricant agent in walls and foundations, tunnelling, and horizontal drilling. Viscosity and plasticity play a very important role. Bentonite slurry walls are used in construction, where the slurry wall is a trench filled with a thick colloidal mixture of Bentonite and water.
Cattle Feed Grade
Our Feed Grade Bentonite is Natural & selected from affluent Mines of Kutch. This Bentonite is used as an animal feed supplement, as a palletizing aid in the production of feed pallets, as well as a flow ability aid. It slows the passage of feed through the digestive system increasing the uptake of nutrients. Bentonite has an affinity for some of the active elements of toxin products formed by bacteria in the digestive tract, and its application in feed allows more rapid weight gain of livestock.

Bentonite usually forms from weathering of volcanic ash, most often in the presence of water. Bentonite is an absorbent aluminium phyllosilicate clay consisting mostly of montmorillonite. The different types of bentonite are each named after the respective dominant element, such as potassium (K), sodium (Na), calcium (Ca), and aluminium (Al). For industrial purposes, two main classes of bentonite exist: sodium and calcium bentonite.
The chemical formula of Bentonite is Al2H2Na2O13Si4 (Sodium) and Al2H2O12Si4 (Calcium)
What is Bentonite?
Bentonite is a naturally occurring clay mineral composed of montmorillonite, a type of smectite clay. It is formed from the weathering of volcanic ash.
Properties of Bentonite
1. High Absorbency: Bentonite can absorb up to 10 times its weight in water, making it an effective absorbent.
2. Swelling Properties: When exposed to water, bentonite swells, allowing it to seal and plug pores.
3. Viscosity: Bentonite can increase the viscosity of liquids, making it useful as a thickening agent.
Uses of Bentonite
1. Drilling Mud: Bentonite is used in drilling mud to lubricate and cool drilling equipment.
2. Foundry: Bentonite is used as a binder in foundry sands to create molds for metal casting.
3. Cat Litter: Bentonite is used in cat litter due to its absorbency and odor-controlling properties.
4. Cosmetics: Bentonite is used in skincare products due to its absorbency and ability to remove impurities.
5. Pharmaceuticals: Bentonite is used as an excipient in some medications due to its ability to absorb and release active ingredients.
6. Water Treatment: Bentonite can be used to remove impurities and contaminants from water.
7. Construction: Bentonite is used in construction to create slurries for trenchless construction and as a sealant for ponds and lakes.
Types of Bentonite
1. Sodium Bentonite: Most commonly used type, known for its high swelling properties.
2. Calcium Bentonite: Less swelling than sodium bentonite, but still useful for various applications.
3. Potassium Bentonite: Rarely used, but has unique properties that make it suitable for specific applications.
Benefits of Bentonite
1. Environmentally Friendly: Bentonite is a natural, non-toxic substance.
2. Cost-Effective: Bentonite can be more cost-effective than other absorbent materials.
3. Versatile: Bentonite has a wide range of applications across various industries.
