Bentonite(Cat No.:M049994), is a type of clay mineral renowned for its versatile properties and applications. It is formed from volcanic ash and consists primarily of montmorillonite. Bentonite exhibits high water absorption capacity and swelling characteristics, making it valuable in various industries. It’s widely used in drilling fluids for oil and gas exploration, as a binding agent in foundry sand, and in cat litter due to its clumping ability. In civil engineering, bentonite is used in construction to create impermeable barriers. Its adsorptive and absorptive qualities also find applications in wastewater treatment and cosmetic formulations, highlighting its multifaceted utility.
