Frequently Asked Questions

Important information about Bentonite, grades and applications.

Bentonite is widely used in foundry sand binding, drilling fluids, civil engineering, waterproofing, and cat litter due to its swelling and binding properties.

Sodium bentonite has higher swelling capacity (24+ ml/2g) ideal for drilling and sealing. Calcium bentonite has lower swelling but better for bleaching and foundry.

Swell index measures the volume of swelling in water (ml/2g bentonite). Higher swell index indicates better sealing and viscosity properties. Premium grades exceed 24 ml/2g.

Yes, bentonite is a naturally occurring, non-toxic clay widely used in environmental applications like landfill liners and contamination barriers.
