BENTONITE BT-1
An industrial-grade clay produced by subjecting natural sodium/calcium bentonite ores with high montmorillonite content to state-of-the-art crushing and micronized grinding processes. It delivers exceptional stability and superior efficiency in formulations thanks to its high swelling capacity, excellent thixotropic structure, and superior binding properties.
High-Purity Micronized Bentonite Delivering Superior Rheological Performance
BENTONITE BT-1 is an industrial-grade clay produced by subjecting natural sodium/calcium bentonite ores with high montmorillonite content to state-of-the-art crushing and micronized grinding processes. It delivers exceptional stability and superior efficiency in formulations thanks to its high swelling capacity, excellent thixotropic structure, and superior binding properties.
Key Highlights
- High Swelling Capacity & Colloidal Purity: Forms a stable suspension in water, optimizing viscosity control in formulations.
- Superior Thixotropic Rheology: Provides excellent fluidity under shear and rapidly forms a protective gel structure when stationary.
- High Thermal & Chemical Stability: Maintains its mineral integrity and binding capacity across wide pH and temperature ranges.
- High Binding Capacity: Provides high green and dry compressive strength in molding and agglomeration processes.
Primary Applications
- Ceramics & Tiles: Plasticity enhancer, shaping aid, and glaze suspension stabilizer.
- Foundry & Metallurgy: Green and dry sand binding agent, surface quality enhancer in cast molds.
- Drilling & Civil Engineering: Filtration control, viscosity builder, and borehole wall stabilization in drilling fluids.
- Paper & Chemical Industry: Retention aid, pitch control, and rheology modifier in specialty formulations.
- Detergents & Cleaning: Softening additive, anti-redeposition agent, and active carrier.
