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 Powdered is a finely ground natural clay known for its exceptional absorbent, swelling, and binding properties. Widely used in industries such as drilling, construction, agriculture, and personal care, it enhances product performance and functionality.

Guinea is renowned for producing high-grade, low-cost bauxite, particularly gibbsitic bauxite. This bauxite is characterized by low silica content (typically below 3% silicon dioxide) and a good balance of gibbsite and boehmite minerals, making it ideal for alumina production with minimal processing challenges and energy costs.
Here's a more detailed look:
Low Silica Content:
Gibbsitic Bauxite:
The bauxite is primarily gibbsite (Al(OH)3) with minimal boehmite and goethite, allowing for processing at lower temperatures and pressures, reducing energy consumption.
High Alumina Content:
Guinea bauxite typically contains around 44-46% alumina (Al2O3), a key component in the production of aluminum.
Bauxite is the backbone of the aluminum industry, the raw material that powers construction, transportation, energy, and manufacturing worldwide. Rich in aluminum-bearing minerals and traded globally, bauxite is refined into high-grade alumina, making it an irreplaceable input with nonstop demand. Sourced from top mining regions and built for large-volume supply, bauxite is not optional it is the first step in the aluminum value chain and a direct driver of industrial growth and profitability.
Bauxite is a naturally occurring, heterogeneous material composed primarily of one or more aluminum hydroxide minerals, plus various mixtures of silica, iron oxide, titania, aluminosilicate, and other impurities in minor or trace amounts.
