Products Bentonite

Bentonite

Bentonite usually forms from weathering of volcanic ash, most often in the presence of water. Bentonite is an absorbent aluminium phyllosilicate clay consisting mostly of montmorillonite. The different types of bentonite are each named after the respective dominant element, such as potassium (K), sodium (Na), calcium (Ca), and aluminium (Al). For industrial purposes, two main classes of bentonite exist: sodium and calcium bentonite.

The chemical formula of Bentonite is Al₂H₂Na₂O₁₃Si₄ (Sodium) and Al₂H₂O₁₂Si₄ (Calcium)

Animal & Poultry Feed

AKINNATE™ is natural clay for animal feed applications, presenting considerably improved technological performance as its binding, anti-caking and flowing agent properties improve both pellet process and conservation. AKINNATE™ is natural Non swelling Calcium based bentonite of exceptional purity. IT contains more than 70 % active montmorillonite clay content. AKINNATE™ Bentonite is widely used in the Feed Industries both in Granular and Powder Form.

AKINNATE™ is a rich colloidal bentonite
High Bonding and thixotropic properties
Grain size is little coarser to spread evenly and speedily on animal food
High Water Absorption
Helps in better digestion
Provide nutrition
Increase the body weight of chicken

Civil Engineering

Sodium Bentonite is traditionally used as a support and lubricating agent in walls, foundations, tunneling and horizontal drilling. Bentonite slurry walls are used in construction, where the slurry wall is a trench filled with a thick colloidal mixture of Bentonite and water. A trench that would collapse due to the hydraulic pressure in the surrounding soil does not collapse as the slurry balances the hydraulic pressure. Forms of concrete and rebar, can be assembled in slurry filled trench, and then have concrete poured into the form. The liquid concrete is heavier than the Bentonite slurry, and displaces it, and it can be re-used in a new trench elsewhere on the construction site.

The Important characteristics of Piling Grade Bentonite are covers large surface area, good plasticity and lubricity, low filter loss, excellent gel strength, good impermeability & low compressibility.

High yield and cost effective
For all types of soils
Good filter cake with stable formations
Mixes quickly and easily

NOTE :

Water quality will affect bentonite perfomance
Use high shear mixers
Mixing ratio lbs/100 gallon of water
We can produce as per customer requirement

Cat Litter

Bentonite is used for cat litter, due to its advantage of absorbing refuse by forming clumps (which can be easily removed) leaving the remaining product intact for further use.

Keep home clean and free from any bad odor
It is safe and eco-friendly
Have the ability to control ammonia
Excellent absorption
Instant clumping
Long lasting
Kills odour
Safe for cat’s skin and health

NOTE :

It is available in different sizes ranging from 0.5 to 5mm
All grade are awailable in scented & non scented granuels in 5kg, 10kg, 25kg, 50kg & jumbo bags as per customer requirement

Drilling

Bentonite is as a mud constituent for oil- and water- well drilling. Its role is mainly to seal the borehole walls, to remove drill cuttings and to lubricate the cutting head. The special higher mud yield results in using less quantity of Bentonite for the same standard mud. This results in lesser requirement of Bentonite.

Retains thixotopic properties when met with brine and high temperature in deep drilling
Gives high barrel yield
Withstands formation pressure

Earthing

Sodium base bentonite contains rich montmorillonite which is widely accepted for the purpose of improving ground conductance in electrical earthing. Bentonite is best suitable for Electrical Earthing. bentonite enhances the connection between earth rod and ground.

It is designed to cater requirements of Earthing Application. It can be easily used in areas with high soil resistivity, as a ground enhancement material, improves moisture retention of the soil, and this improves grounding effectiveness for Electrical Earthing.

High thixotropic property retain the moisture for long time.
Non toxic and non inflammable.
No corrosion of earthing conductors (electrodes)
Redusce soil resistivity
Low setup & maintenance cost
Friendly environmental. It does not harm human body or animals.
Can be used even in desert area
