Bentonite clay is a natural clay, primarily composed of smectite minerals, that forms from the alteration of volcanic ash or other igneous/sedimentary rocks. It's known for its ability to absorb liquids and expand, and is often used in various industrial applications.
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.
Industry uses bentonite more for the physical properties it can develop
than for its chemical composition. Accordingly, the greatest tonnage of
bentonite is used annually for bonding, plasticizing, or suspending purposes.
In these applications, the bentonite is usually in contact with water. Thus the
clay-water characteristics are of primary importance to industry. The
chemical composition of the bentonite is a consideration only because changes
in physical properties accompany changes in chemical composition. There
arc some exceptions, and generally these can be described as instances where
the clay chemistry, as a component in a product, could be a complicating
factor.
Our BLH serial bentonite is made of top-quality and natural bentonite raw material, it is refind affter selecting mineral,purfying,remodeling and organic modifying processes.It can form thixotropic gel in organic solvent. It has the charactar of anti settiling, sag prevention,high thickness and theological,etc. The solvent is applied to wide ranges of polar and temperature conditions.It can be used in paint, printing ink,lubricating grease,sealant,well drilling,precision casting,petroleum additive,agriculture chenical,bitumen,plastic,rubber,nano materials and so on.It is a fine thickening agent,stabilizer,and additive.
