Bentonite - Technical Specification Sheet
Product Overview
Bentonite is a naturally occurring clay composed primarily of montmorillonite. It is widely used in drilling, foundry, construction, and environmental applications due to its high swelling capacity and excellent rheological properties. Bentonite is a swelling clay used in drilling fluids for viscosity development, filtration control, and borehole stability.
