Market Insight
Bentonite is a commercial name for the naturally occurring clay that predominantly consists of montmorillonite. Bentonite is formed from weathering volcanic ash. The bentonite has high water absorption capacity that causes it to expand and swell. The bentonite has different types, depending upon the respective dominating elements including potassium, sodium, aluminum, and calcium. The swelling action or absorption of bentonite is depending on it’s the ion exchange capacity. The most common use of bentonite is in drilling fluids. The bentonite in the flush fluid lubricates and cools the cutting tools while protecting against corrosion.
Combinations of water and bentonite can perform a multitude of functions in the industry including drilling, binder, purification, absorbent, groundwater barrier and many others.
