BENTONITE BT-1 MICRONIZED
An ultra-fine industrial bentonite powder produced through advanced micronization technology, delivering high montmorillonite purity, exceptional rheological control, and superior colloidal stability in ceramics, foundry, and specialty formulations.
Ultra-Fine Particle Size, High-Purity Micronized Bentonite
BENTONITE BT-1 MICRONIZED is manufactured by processing select high-grade natural bentonite ores in our advanced air-classified micronization facilities. Its ultra-fine particle distribution ensures instant dispersion in aqueous systems, establishing homogeneous, lump-free suspensions with remarkable thixotropic stability.
Key Highlights
- Ultra-Fine Micronization: High specific surface area ensures immediate hydration and complete dispersion.
- Superior Thixotropic Rheology: Provides fluid workability under shear while forming a robust gel network at rest.
- Excellent Suspension Capability: Prevents settlement of heavy mineral particles and glazes.
- High Plasticizing Capacity: Enhances moldability and dry mechanical strength in technical ceramic bodies.
Primary Applications
- Ceramics & Porcelain: Body plasticizer, glaze suspending agent, and green strength booster.
- Foundry & Precision Casting: Premium molding sand binder and core wash rheology additive.
- Paints, Coatings & Chemicals: Anti-settling additive, thickening agent, and rheology modifier.
- Oil & Gas Drilling: High-efficiency bentonite for water-based drilling muds.
