Bentonite Desiccant Cas No: 1302-78-9

Bentonite is a versatile clay mineral known for its high absorbency and ability to form gel-like suspensions, making it valuable in various industries.
Bentonite is a type of clay mineral composed primarily of montmorillonite, which is a member of the smectite group of minerals. It is formed from the weathering of volcanic ash and is commonly found in volcanic regions. Bentonite has unique properties, including high swelling capacity and excellent absorbent capabilities. When mixed with water, it forms a gel-like substance and exhibits thixotropic behavior, meaning it becomes less viscous when agitated and returns to a gel-like state when left undisturbed. Due to these characteristics, Bentonite finds a wide range of applications in various industries, such as drilling and construction, foundry, animal feed, environmental remediation, and cosmetics.
