Description :

Overview of Bentonite

Bentonite is a naturally occurring aluminium phyllosilicate clay widely used in drilling fluids, foundry sand bonding, construction chemicals, water treatment, and industrial processing. It is primarily composed of montmorillonite, which gives bentonite its exceptional swelling, adsorption, and binding properties.

In appearance, Bentonite is supplied as a fine grey to off-white powder. When mixed with water, it forms a stable gel with high viscosity, making it highly valuable for applications requiring suspension stability and sealing capability. Due to its natural origin and versatility, Bentonite is extensively used across multiple industrial sectors.

ChemicalBull supplies industrial-grade Bentonite with controlled particle size, consistent swelling index, and reliable batch performance. Each supply is supported with complete documentation, including MSDS, COA, and technical data sheets.
