Bentonite

Bentonite is a naturally occurring clay mineral primarily composed of montmorillonite, formed from the weathering of volcanic ash. It is valued for its exceptional absorbent, swelling, binding, and stabilizing properties, making it a highly versatile material across a wide range of industrial applications.Depending on its composition, bentonite is generally classified into sodium bentonite (high swelling and water absorption) and calcium bentonite (lower swelling, higher adsorption), each offering distinct functional advantages for different industries.

Functions of Bentonite in Industrial Applications

• Binder: acts as an effective binding agent to improve strength, cohesion, and shape retention in industrial processes.
• Absorbent: possesses high absorption capacity for liquids, oils, and impurities, making it suitable for purification and containment applications.
• Thickener & Rheology Modifier: enhances viscosity, suspension stability, and flow control in liquid and semi-liquid systems.
• Stabilizer: helps maintain consistency and prevents separation in complex formulations.
• Clarifying & Purifying Agent: removes impurities, proteins, and unwanted particles through adsorption and flocculation.
