Contact SupplierBentonite is a type of clay that is often used in the construction industry as a stabilizer and thickener in drilling muds, cement slurries, and other construction materials. When it comes to bitumen, bentonite is sometimes used as a stabilizer and thickener in bitumen emulsions.
Bitumen emulsions are a mixture of bitumen and water that are stabilized with an emulsifier, which helps to keep the two components from separating. Bentonite can be added to these emulsions to help thicken the mixture and improve its stability.
Bentonite can also be used in asphalt mixes as a mineral filler to improve the strength and durability of the asphalt. When added to asphalt mixes, bentonite helps to reduce the amount of asphalt binder needed, which can result in cost savings and improved performance.
