Bentonite is a natural clay mineral known for its strong absorption and swelling properties. It is widely used in industrial, environmental, and agricultural applications due to its ability to retain moisture, bind materials, and support sealing and filtration processes.
What is Bentonite?
Bentonite is a naturally occurring clay formed from volcanic ash. It is rich in montmorillonite, which gives it the ability to expand when mixed with water and absorb large amounts of liquid.
How It Works
Bentonite works by absorbing water and swelling, creating a barrier that can seal, bind, or stabilize materials. Its fine particles also help trap impurities, making it useful in filtration and purification processes.
Usage
Bentonite is commonly used in construction, drilling, environmental protection, and industrial manufacturing. It can be applied in powder or granule form depending on the application.
