Bentonite

Bentonite deposits are normally exploited by quarrying. Extracted bentonite is distinctly solid, with the moisture content of approximately 30%. The material is initially crushed and, if necessary, activated with the addition of soda ash (Na2CO3). Bentonite is dried (air and/or forced drying) to reach a moisture content of approximately 15%. According to the final application, bentonite is either sieved (granular form) or milled (into powder and super fine powder form) or treated with acids to produce acid-activated bentonite (bleaching earths), or treated with organics to produce organoclays. The main constituent, which is the determinant factor in the clay's properties, is the clay mineral montmorillonite.

Bentonite is the active protective layer of geosynthetic clay liners. Bentonite has multi-properties including swelling, hydration, water absorption, viscosity, thixotropy, which makes it a multi-application product for diverse industries. Based upon personal relation of the group with some reputed mine owners and manufacturers in Rajasthan, Gujarat and South India backed by their b support, we are able to export wide array of other Natural minerals Like Bentonite, Baryte,Abrasive Garnet, Quartz,Feldspar,Talc, Dolomite,Calcite,China Clay and Fly ash.



Bentonite is available in various grades for its diverse applications:

  • Oil well Drilling (Drilling API OCMA Grade)
  • Civil engineering and pilling grade
  • Iron ore palletizing Grade Bentonite
  • Activated Bleaching Earth/Fullers earth
  • Organophilic clay
  • Use as Grouting Material
  • Pigments Inks
  • Paper industry
  • Cat litter grade
  • Electrical Earthting
  • Pharmaceuticals
  • Detergents



  • Other Usages:

    Water impedance: As a barrier for Wine Clarification, Pond sealing, Wine and Juice clarifying agent.
    Cements, ceramics plasters: As a plasticizing agent.
    Insecticides: As a carrier.
    Insulation: As a binder.
    Porcelain: As a suspending agent.
    Sewer pipes: As a lubricant and sealant.
