Bentonite Powder
Bentonite Powder
We offer natural and pure Bentonite Powder mined from the finest mines in India. These are processed using the latest mining and production technologies. Thereby, our range of Bentonite Powder are attributed with various salient features and demanded in various industrial segments. This product find application as an economical bonding material to attain sturdy molding in metal casting processes. When mixed with foundry molding sands, it forms a pliable bond with the sand granules, then the molten metal is pored into the impressions, while maintaining the temperature more than 2,800 F. During these high temperatures, Bentonite Powder exerts more durability into the mold through its unique bonding characteristics. Once the process is complete, the bentonite/sand mold can be broken away from the casting face and reused.

Well DrillingDrilling mud or drilling gel, is a major component in the well drilling process. Drilling mud is crucial in the extraction of drill cuttings during the drilling process. Bentonite, when mixed with water, forms a fluid (or slurry) that is pumped through the drill stem, and out through the drill bit. The bentonite extracts the drill cuttings from around the bit, which are then floated to the surface. The drilling mud, or gel, also serves to cool and lubricate the drill bit as well as seal the drill hole against seepage and to prevent wall cave-ins.
Taconite Pelleting We offer Taconite Pelleting. Taconite, a low grade iron ore, has been developed as an economic source for iron. During processing, the taconite is ground into a very fine powder. The ground taconite is then mixed with small amounts of bentonite which serves as a binder to the taconite. This mixture is processed into balls or pellets. The process is finished when these pellets are sintered in rotary kilns that give the pellets a hard surface. The taconite pellets are easy to handle at this point and can be loaded into various containers for shipment to steel mills.
Cat Litter In recent years, bentonite has become a major component in the manufacturing of cat litter. Because of the unique water absorption, swelling, and odor controlling characteristics of bentonite, it is ideal for use in "clumping" types of cat litters.Clumping cat litter has become widely accepted as an economical alternative to conventional non-clumping type cat litters. Because bentonite forms clumps when wet, the clumps can easily be removed and disposed of. The remainder of the unused material stays intact and can continue to be used. Clumping cat box litters will last longer with less frequency of changing.
Animal & Poultry Feeds For many years bentonite has been used as a binder in the feed pelletizing industry. Small amounts of bentonite can be added to feed products to insure tougher, more durable pellets. By absorbing excess moisture and oils, bentonite aids in the free movement of pellets, preventing lumping and caking. Research has been conducted which indicates that bentonite has additional benefits for both animals and poultry. The bentonite used in the feed slows the digestive system and enables the animal or fowl to better utilize the feed nutrients. Other studies have shown bentonite as a useful ingredient in the control of certain toxins which affect animals and fowl.
