Our Bentonite Products: Foundry Grade: 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 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.

Bentonite is a remarkable natural resource that plays a critical role in many industries. As industries continue to seek sustainable and effective materials, bentonite is poised to remain a key player in the global market. For customers looking for reliable, high-quality bentonite, our company offers tailored solutions that meet a wide range of needs. Introduction to Bentonite Bentonite is a highly versatile clay known for its unique properties, including swelling, viscosity, and adsorption. Formed from the weathering of volcanic ash, bentonite contains predominantly montmorillonite clay minerals. Its unique properties make it essential in various industries, ranging from oil drilling to health and beauty. Properties of Bentonite Bentonite's key properties stem from its mineralogical composition. It can absorb substantial amounts of water, which allows it to expand and form gel-like masses. This makes it extremely useful as a sealing agent, binder, and purification substrate. The typical elemental makeup includes high levels of silica and aluminum, with smaller amounts of calcium, magnesium, and iron, which confer its ability to bond and react with other substances. Bentonite Formula and Elemental Composition: Bentonite is primarily composed of montmorillonite, a type of clay mineral that belongs to the larger family of phyllosilicates. Montmorillonite itself can vary slightly in chemical composition, but generally, it can be represented by a simplified formula: Na,Ca0.33(Al,Mg)2(Si4O10)(OH)2nH2O. The elemental makeup of bentonite includes a mix of several primary elements which contribute to its properties: Silicon (Si, (Aluminum (Al), Magnesium (Mg), Calcium (Ca), Sodium (Na), Oxygen (O) and Hydrogen (H). Mining and Production of Bentonite The mining of bentonite is a meticulous process that involves extracting material from open-pit mines. The extracted bentonite is then refined and processed into various grades, depending on its intended use. Major bentonite mining regions include the Western United States, Greece, and Australia, where mining techniques are designed to minimize environmental impact while maximizing yield. Applications of Bentonite Bentonite has a wide range of applications due to its versatile properties. It is used in drilling mud for oil and gas wells, as a binder in the foundry industry, in environmental applications such as landfill liners, and as a carrier in fertilizers. It also finds applications in personal care products, due to its absorbent and viscosity-modifying properties.
