Oil-Well Drilling / Civil / Piling
Bentonite has excellent thixotropic /suspension properties with low filtrate loss which makes it ideal for piling & drilling applications. Thixotropic nature of Bentonite allows slurry to penetrate deep into cleavages cracks and clogs the pores and develops good suspensions and friction agent stabilizing the excavations.
We manufacture High yield Bentonite as per Indian Standards (IS), American Petroleum Institute (API) and Oil Companies Material Association (OCMA) Standards.
We cover all possible usage of Bentonite customized to meet rheological properties in achieving desired parameters for wide range of civil applications suitable for Diaphragm walling, Board piling, Tunneling, Pipe – jacking & Horizontal drilling, Oil well drilling, Water well drilling, Grouting applications etc.
Benefits
- Maintains Thixotropic properties even in high temperature in deep drilling.
- Good Penetration of Slurry to clog pores preventing water seepage into formations.
- Excellent lubrication ability to helps bit for smooth operation and also acts as coolant.
- High water Absorption seal permeable formation and Low Filtrate loss stabilizes borehole.
- Cuttings from the boreholes are smoothly removed.
- High cutting suspension withstands formation pressure
Iron Ore Pelletization
Bentonite selectively mined and processed for the application of Iron ore palletization. Bentonite is used as a binding agent in the production of iron ore pellets due to its effectiveness and efficiency.
Bentonite is used due to its ability to absorb water and expand, which makes it an excellent binding agent. It possesses, high water absorption properties which help iron fines to bind quickly and effectively which is necessary to form strong and durable pellets. It helps to improve the green strength of the pellets, which means that they are stronger before they are heated. It also helps to reduce the amount of fines that are generated during the palletization process.
Also, it is having higher natural percentage of Iron which is ideal in isolating ore pellets with the maximum percentages of Iron. It maintains excellent binding strength throughout the process of before and after firing of pellets.
Benefits
- Excellent Ball and Dry Strength with lesser consumption of Bentonite.
- High absorption capacity prevents lumping and caking of the pellets.
- Faster Formation Pellets reducing production time & better productivity.
- Excellent Binding strength minimizes rejection loss in process loss.
- Good Fe content & low addition in Silica content reducing slag formation. Excellent Thermal Stability.
Foundry
Bentonite is traditionally being used as binder in Foundry, which develops excellent binding strength to greensand mold in iron and steel casting. It has good Thermal stability and good bond development properties with easy mulling and excellent shakeout characteristics leading to good surface finish of the castings.
Our Bentonite can be used for greensand molding applications including Arpha lines, High pressure Molding lines with flask and without flask. The Mixing ratio will be dependent on the sand quality, fineness and impurities which plays a vital role in mold strength.
Benefits
- Easy mulling and faster gelling minimizes sand mixing time.
- High Swelling and Excellent gel uniformly binds sand grains.
- High Green Compression Strength keeps mold strength intact eradicates mold breakages and other defects related to it.
- Scabbing, rat-tail and buckles defect is almost zero due to High Wet Tensile Strength.
- Generation of dead clay is less due to high Thermal Stability. Good Shakeout Properties & Surface finish.
- Good Shakeout Properties & Surface finish.
Paints
Bentonite is used in the paint industry as a thickening and suspension agent. Its ability to absorb water and create a gel-like substance makes it an effective thickener that can improve the viscosity and stability of paint formulations.
Its high cation exchange capacity allows it to attract and hold positively charged ions, such as pigments, which can be dispersed evenly throughout the paint.
Bentonite can also improve the flow and leveling of paint formulations, making them easier to apply and creating a smooth, even finish. Its lubricating properties can help to reduce friction between paint particles, improving the overall performance of the paint.
Benefits
- Thickener: Bentonite is an excellent thickener that is used to increase the viscosity of paint formulations. It helps to improve the flow and leveling properties of the paint, making it easier to apply and giving it a smoother finish.
- Suspension agent: It helps to keep the pigments and other solid materials in the paint in suspension, preventing them from settling to the bottom of the container.
- Rheological modifier: It helps to control the flow properties of the paint, making it easier to apply and improving its workability.
- Binder: It helps to bind the pigments and other solid materials together, improving the adhesion of the paint to the surface being painted.
pH stabilizer: It helps to maintain the pH of the paint at a stable level, which is important for ensuring the paint remains stable and does not deteriorate over time.
Paper Industry
Bentonite is used in the paper industry as a retention agent and as a coating agent to improve the performance of paper products. Bentonite has a high cation exchange capacity, which makes it useful for various applications, including paper making.
As a retention agent, bentonite is added to paper pulp to improve its ability to retain fine particles, such as filler materials, dyes, and pigments. This improves the quality of paper and also reduces the amount of raw materials needed to produce a given paper grade.
Bentonite used as a coating agent in production of coated papers. The coating process involves applying a layer of bentonite to the paper surface to improve its printing properties, such as ink absorbency, print sharpness, and color reproduction.
It is used as a filler in papermaking. It can be added to the pulp to increase the bulk and opacity of the paper. This can result in a more substantial paper product that is more opaque and has a higher quality feel.
Also, Bentonite is used as a binding agent in papermaking. It can help to hold the fibers and fillers together, resulting in a stronger, more durable final product.
Benefits
- Adsorb contaminants & Prevents formation of deposits.
- Drainage time of furnish decreases & Improves efficiency of paper machine.
- Works with anionic and cationic flocculants.
- Sheet holes and staining reduced & avoids Agglomeration of foreign particles.
Cosmetics - Pharmaceuticals
For cosmetic application Bentonite is selectively mined and manufactured under controlled parameters. Bentonite act as an absorbent which extracts toxins and oil from the skin. It is used for facial, Anti Acne products, Bleach, lipstick binder etc.
Benefits
- Home Remedy, Easy to use, Keeps Skin Glowing and Irritation free.
- Herbal & Bacteria free & Zero Side Effects.
- Absorbs Extra oil from Skin.
