AL5565 Bentonite Powder

Bentonite Description:

Bentonite, a naturally occurring clay mineral, possesses unique properties that render it valuable for numerous applications. Due to its high absorption and swelling capacity, Bentonite forms gel-like substances when combined with water, making it ideal for sealing in construction. Its lubricating and viscosity-increasing characteristics are employed in drilling fluids for oil and gas exploration. Bentonite is also used as a binding agent in foundry sands and as a clarifying agent in wine and beverage production. Its mild abrasive and oil-absorbing properties further contribute to its popularity in skincare and cosmetic products. The versatility of Bentonite makes it indispensable across various industries.
