OUR SPECIALIZATION

Ore crafted for any industry

Iron Ore Pellet Industry

During pelletization process, the proportion of Bentonite added to Iron-ore is in the proportion of 0.5%. Adding bentonite improves the strength of the green pellet. The falling strength and compression strength of the green pellet increase as bentonite content increases.

Drilling Mud in Excavation Industry

In Oil and Gas drilling operations it is required to carry rock cuttings to the surface and also lubricate and cool the drill bit. The drilling mud which is a heavy viscous fluid mixture serves the above purpose. The drilling mud, by hydrostatic pressure, also helps prevent the collapse of unstable strata into the borehole and the intrusion of water from water-bearing strata that may be encountered

Foundry Industry

Bentonite is based on natural high sodium swelling of exceptional purity and high thermal resilience. It is designed to meet the requirements of a modern foundry set up. Especially high-pressure setups like molding lines (Flask / Flaskless) and deep-drawn castings require sodium activated bentonite

Nuclear Waste Management

Bentonite powder serves as a very effective water flow barrier and cation exchanger. The swelling potential produces a tight contact with confining structures, which makes bentonite ideal as an overpack of rock-deposited radioactive canisters and for borehole and shaft sealing.

Piling Foundation

Often commonly used in the construction of large diameter bored piles are bentonite support fluids. Except for the form of the excavation, this application is identical to that for diaphragm wall construction. Small diameter boreholes are often drilled into fragile strata using bentonite support fluid as an alternative to temporary casings for site inspection work or other purposes.

Ceramic Industry

In ceramic bodies, bentonite bonds particles together to make them stronger in a green or dry environment. In order to create a more compact mass with more points of contact, the minute particles fill voids between others. More dry strength and a harder and more stable surface are also imparted by applying bentonite to glazes.

Agriculture

In agriculture, one of the key uses of bentonite is to use it as a feed additive. It is also used for soil, crop protection, and adsorbents as enhancement agents. The wort of the wine content is poorly self-clarified and thus needs more filtration and clarification processing. Our bentonite powder is efficiently used for these purposes.

Paint Industry

Na-Bentonite, clay based thickening agent, is generally used to modify the viscosity of paints, since it is more eco-nomical and environmentally friendly compared to polymer based thickening agents. In solvent based systems bentonite is generally modified with quaternary ammonium salt to obtain appropriate polarity.
