What is Bentonite Used For and in Which Industries?
The unique physical and chemical properties of bentonite make it a strategic raw material in a wide variety of industries:
Ceramic Industry
Bentonite added to ceramic bodies significantly increases plasticity and dry strength. It is also used as a suspending agent in glazes, preventing the glaze from settling and ensuring more homogeneous adhesion to the surface.
Pet Hygiene (Bentonite Cat Litter)
It is the main component in cat litter production thanks to its ability to quickly trap liquids and form clumps. Bentonite cat litter offers high odour containment while providing hygienic and practical use after being de-dusted through our laboratory-controlled processes.
Foundry and Metallurgy
With its high binding properties, it provides structural strength in foundry sand mixtures and iron ore pelletising.
Construction and Engineering (Waterproofing)
When in contact with water, it swells to form an impermeable barrier. This property makes it a preferred insulation material in dams, ponds and building foundations.
Drilling Industry
It helps control the viscosity of drilling fluids to stabilise borehole walls and carry cuttings to the surface.
Agriculture and Animal Husbandry
Offered in special formulations for soil improvement to increase water retention capacity and as a toxin binder in animal feeds.
