All Color Available Organic Natural Bentonite Clay

We are major supplier of Organic Natural Bentonite Clay in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. Bentonite is a clay formed by decomposition of volcanic ash, having the ability to absorb large quantities of water and to expands to several times its normal volume. Bentonite is the commercial name of a whole range of natural clays with a high water absorption capacity causing it to expand and swell. Bentonite predominantly consists of montmorillonite: a clay mineral belonging to a class of phyllosilicates called smectites. Bentonites may contain a variety of accessory minerals in addition to montmorillonite. These may include lesser amounts of other clay minerals such as kaolin, mica, illite, as well as non-clay minerals like quartz, feldspar, calcite, and gypsum. Bentonite quality, and, consequently, its applications, depend on whether it contains any of these other minerals.

The main uses of bentonite are for drilling mud, binder (e.g. foundry-sand bond, iron ore pelletizer) etc.
