Bentonite has high swelling properties along with good viscosity and liquid limit. These properties are highly valued in most of the industrial applications. Sodium bentonite is well suited as a binder in the preparation of pellets and in foundry and as oil-well drilling mud. Bentonite is stabilizing fine, heavy and technical ceramic products. It is a used as anti-settling agent in engobes and glazes, fluxing agent, and plasticizer.
