Bentonite
Clay powder is obtained by drying and grinding bentonite clay; it is activated with soda ash to improve its properties.
Bentonite is a natural clay mineral based on montmorillonite (a highly dispersed layered aluminosilicate). A distinctive feature is the ability to swell greatly (14-16 times) in moisture conditions. Other important properties include chemical resistance and absolute non-toxicity.
The largest deposits of bentonite are located in the USA. One of them is called “Benton”, from which the mineral got its name.
Benthic powders are indispensable in the drilling process. They are used to create high-quality drilling fluids. Bentonite clay powder is also used in HDD (horizontal directional drilling). The material increases work efficiency and reduces wear of drilling equipment.
Can also be used as a component of cement mixtures, for walls in the ground, heat pumps
