White bentonite powder

Product Description

Bentonite is a mineral clay with high expansion properties, named after Fort Benton, Wyoming, USA, where the commercially available bentonite mine was first mined.

The geological origin of bentonite is a remnant of volcanic ash, which dates back to the Cretaceous and even the Jurassic era, the era when nautilus and dinosaurs prevailed. Most of the commercial bentonite currently mined is a hydrolyzate of volcanic or volcanic ash. At present, except for Antarctica, other continents have proven bentonite storage. In terms of minerals, bentonite is mainly composed of montmorillonite mixed with *0%**0% of other minerals, such as feldspar, calcite, silica, and gypsum.

 Bentonite characteristics:

 Bentonite is a clay mineral with montmorillonite as the main mineral component. It has excellent water absorption, cation exchange capacity, swelling, plasticity and binding ability. Bentonite is commonly used in cast molding in the refractory and ceramic industries.

Bentonite application:

Bentonite has a very important application field, which plays a major role in the production of refractory materials. Because bentonite has good water absorption and cohesiveness, it can be used in the production of refractory materials. The materials are condensed together instead of using plastic coagulum, which improves the high temperature resistance of many refractory materials.
