HA10561 Calcium Bentonite Clay

Calcium Bentonite Clay Description

Calcium Bentonite Clay, principally composed of montmorillonite, exhibits high adsorptive properties essential for filtration and purification. Its consistent particle size distribution contributes to stable process performance during herbal extractions. The clay's chemical inertness minimises interaction with extract components, ensuring the preservation of phytochemical profiles. Detailed physical characterisation via standard analytical methods underpins its suitability for precise processing applications.

Calcium Bentonite Clay Applications

1.       Herbal Extraction Processing
   - Used as an adsorbent in extraction systems to remove unwanted impurities by leveraging its high surface area. This approach facilitates improved extract clarity and product consistency.
   - Applied as a filtration aid in decoction setups to achieve effective separation of plant materials, thereby streamlining downstream processing.

2.       Personal Care and Cosmeceutical Formulations
   - Employed as a thickening agent in topical mixtures to yield uniform consistency by utilising its fine particle distribution. This ensures stable formulation structures.
   - Integrated into natural formulation systems to help control moisture levels by capitalising on its high absorption capacity, which can lead to improved product texture.

Calcium Bentonite Clay Packing

Calcium Bentonite Clay is packed in moisture-resistant, sealed bags lined with anti-contamination film. Each package is securely enclosed in rigid cartons to minimise physical impact during transit. The packing process employs controlled environmental conditions to limit moisture exposure. Custom packaging options are available to support specific handling and storage requirements, ensuring the material remains within designated processing tolerances.

Additional Information

Calcium Bentonite Clay is extensively studied for its adsorptive and inert characteristics, which are fundamental in separation and purification applications. Its mineral composition is well-documented and often compared with similar naturally occurring clays utilised in various process industries. Detailed material characterisation and standardised testing protocols offer insights into its performance under different operational conditions.

In related fields, understanding the behaviour of mineral clays provides essential context for their use in industrial and laboratory settings. Continued research and methodical testing contribute to improved application strategies, promoting material efficiency and enhanced process control across multiple extraction and formulation environments.
