Wholesale Price Bulk Bentonite Clay High Swelling Rate High viscosity Sodium Bentonite For Drilling Mud/Coating/Casting
Bentonite is a non-metallic mineral with montmorillonite as the main mineral component. The montmorillonite structure is a 2:1 crystal structure composed of two silica tetrahedrons sandwiched with a layer of alumina octahedron. Due to the layered structure formed by montmorillonite crystal cells, there are some cations, such as Cu, Mg, Na, K, etc., and the interaction between these cations and montmorillonite crystal cells is very unstable and easy to be exchanged by other cations, Therefore, it has good ion exchange. Its has special properties.Such as :swelling, cohesiveness, adsorption, catalysis, thixotropy, suspension, cation exchange, etc.
