Bentonite is a plastic clay, mainly made of montmorillonite, generated by an alteration in situ of volcanic ash. Bentonite has significant colloidal properties and decreases its thickness many times as it falls into contact with liquids, forming a gelatinous and viscous material.The unique properties of swelling, water absorption, viscosity and thixotropy make it very useful for a wide variety of products.
Bentonite is a silicate hydrated aluminium with special water and swell absorption potential. It has multiple markets and structural engineering applications.
