Bentonite for Drilling mud and Civil engineering Shape:white powder and natural particles The products is suitable for the lubrication of drilling engineering,bridge, construction engineering pile foundation,diaphragm wall,subway,tunnel,wall mud and impervious materials such as underground engineering,reservoir dam foundation,etc.
Bentonite as is a particular kind of clay derived from volcanic ash and consists mainly of montmorillonite with minor amount of illite, kaolinite, cristobalite and other minerals. Bentonite has strong colloidal properties and, when in contact with water, increases its volume several fold by swelling, forming a tixotropic, gelatinous substance. Main uses of Bentonite take advantage of these colloidal properties. The main characteristics of Bentonite is its decolorizing power, that is the property of the earth to absorb selectively certain pigments rather than others according to the characteristics of the product to be decolourized(acidity, oxidation degree, origin and biological state etc.)
APPLICATIONS
For Drilling Fluids
Pilling
Binder (e.g. foundry-sand bond, iron ore pelletizer)
Purifier
Electrical Earthing
Agriculture
Cosmetics, Paper, Paints and Ceramics
Absorbent (e.g. pet litter), and
As a Groundwater Barrier.
We CEMENTATION acquire own mines for Bentonite in India. We supply Bentonite for industrial, manufacturing, construction and drilling applications. Our production or supply capacity is more than 250,000 TPA.
At CEMENTATION a special attention is given while mining Bentonite as the materials physical and chemical properties are depended upon the interference of the other metal ions present in the soil.
Once the material sourced from mines are transferred to our factory and are left for drying in an open land to reduce moisture up to the desired level. After the drying process and other checks are done our skilled manpower will do a sorting of the material and then after the material goes to pulverizes for grinding to desired mesh size and are packed according to customers requirement. Our laboratories are well equipped to meet the needs of the diverse markets we serve.
Food-Grade Bentonite Clay is a natural, purified clay known for its detoxifying and binding properties. Used in food processing and health applications, it helps clarify beverages, improve food texture, and support digestive health safely and effectively.
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)
