Bentonite Granules

Bentonite is a natural product. It is ground in mills after treatmentblending to very fine powder. Bentonite is basically composed of the mineral montomorillonite which occurs in extremely fine particles. Bentonite also contains beidelite (montomorillonite family) as principal mineral. Bentonite is mixed with sand to impart plasticity and strength to it in the presence of moisture. The fine particle size and high moisture absorption, that is, high swelling property of bentonite give bonding strength or adhesion to the mass of sand grains. This standard keeps in view the quality of bentonite available in the country and known to be commercially exploited.
