Bentonite is a highly absorbent, viscous plastic clay which is a valuable binding, sealing, absorbing, and lubricating agent in a huge variety of industries and applications.
The mineral with a thousand uses:- Bentonite is a very soft plastic clay consisting predominantly of montmorillonite, a fine particle-sized hydrous aluminum silicate and a member of the smectite group. Most bentonites are formed by the alteration of volcanic ash and rocks after intense contact with water.
Bentonite presents strong colloidal properties and increases its volume several times when coming into contact with water, creating a gelatinous and viscous substance. Its specific properties include swelling, water absorption, viscosity, and thixotropy. These properties are in demand in a huge range of industries served by “DC OVERSEAS”, ‘the mineral with a thousand uses’.
Manufactured at our Mandvi, Kutch facility, our Bentonite is trusted across global industries for its performance and consistency.
