Bentonite is a type of clay that is composed of volcanic ash. It is used in various industries such as drilling mud, pet waste absorbent, foundry sand bond, and iron ore pelletizing applications. Bentonites contain a variety of accessory minerals in addition to montmorillonite such as quartz, feldspar, calcite and gypsum. The presence of these minerals could impact the industrial value of the deposit, reducing or increasing its value depending on the application. There are different grades of bentonite such as sodium bentonite and calcium bentonite. Sodium bentonite is used for drilling muds, pet waste absorbents, and iron ore pelletizing applications. Calcium bentonite is used for foundry sand bond applications. TAP GROUP can source Sodium Bentonite for your drilling needs.
Drilling Grade Bentonite is the main component of water based drilling fluid, which is a vital element of drilling process. Bentonite is used as a mud constituent for oil and water well drilling. Its roles are mainly to seal the borehole walls, to remove drill cuttings and to lubricate the cutting head. Bentonite 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.
This grade of Bentonite is traditionally used as a support and lubricating agent in walls, foundations, tunnelling and horizontal drilling. The Important characteristics of Piling Grade Bentonite are covers large surface area, good plasticity and lubricity, low filter loss, excellent gel strength, good impermeability & low compressibility.
Geo Synthetic Clay Liner grade Bentonite is selectively mined and process ed high-quality sodium bentonite powder / granules to ensure a Iow permeability containment product ideally suited to applications of landfill containment. GCL Bentonite is chemically modified bentonite powder/Granules which will generally give higher swell index values and lower fluid loss numbers when added with polymers.
Bentonite selectively mine d and processed for the application of Iron ore palletization. It is one of the most effective and economical binder for pelletizing iron ore. It possess, high water absorption properties which help iron fines to bind quickly and effectively. Also, it is having higher natural percentage of Iron which is ideal in isolating ore pellets with the maximum percentages of Iron. It maintains excellent binding strength throughout the process of before and after firing of pellets.

bentonite for drilling
BENTONITE Bentonite is smectite mineral clay usually montmorillonite. Bentonite presents strong colloidal properties and its volume increase several times when it absorbs water, creating gelatinous and viscous fluid. Special properties of Bentonite include hydration, swelling, water absorption, viscosity, and thixotropy thus making it suitable for a wide range of applications. Uses/Applications: Used as a general filler/chemical additive in: 1. Borehole and well-drilling Fluids to lubricate and cool the cutting tools because of their rheological properties. 2. Binder in foundry molds and pellet making. 3. Sealant and groundwater barrier in dam and water pans. 4. Adsorbent in winemaking and pet care items. 5. Pottery and ceramics to aid in plasticity.

Water Well Drilling Bentonite: Description & Applications Water well drilling bentonite is used in mud rotary drilling. It's unique properties make it an important component of the drilling process. Bentonite forms the mud used by the drillers to lubricate the bit, remove cuttings from the borehole, and keep the sides of the borehole from caving in. Provides quick viscosity and lubrication. Reduces fluid loss during excavations. Deposits thin filter cake on bore walls to improve borehole stability Aids hole cleaning Environmentally safe
Plastic Concrete Bentonite: Description & Applications Plastic concrete bentonite is one of the most important materials in Plastic concretes due to causes to fill voids of concretes. Creating an impermeable barrier (cut-off wall) for containment. Seepage control in highly permeable dam foundations. Has enough compressive strength, tensile strength and shear strength. Designed to undergo deformations compatible with those in the surrounding soil without development of cracks.
High Gelling Lubricant Bentonite: Description & Applications High gelling lubricant bentonite is a special formula to achieve drilling in very high permeable formations such as loose sands and gravels. It is formulated to provide a very high viscosity, fluid loss control, good support and bore hole cleaning in water based mud systems that meets HDD, Tunnel boring, pipe jacking and diaphragm wall drilling requirements specially for very high permeable formations and sites near offshore area. Reduces friction between pipe and soil. Prevent ground collapsing into the annulus and causing settlement. Provides lubrication. Helps to develop a layer of filter-cake on the micro-tunnel front acting as a membrane and inhibiting diffusion of the suspension into ground. Reduces the jacking force. Transports the excavated material from the face. Improves the flow of excavated material. Provides quick viscosity and lubrication. Reduces fluid loss during excavations.
