Functions

Bentonite has many uses in various manufacturing and allied applications.

It can be used in Foundries/Metal Casting, Electrical Insulations, Poultry/Animal Feeds,
Cat Litter Paint manufacture. It is helpful in sealing ponds, sewage reservoirs etc.
In addition it has been used in detergents, fungicides, sprays, cosmetics and where
bonding properties are needed.

One of the primary uses of bentonite powder and pellets is in the Mining
and Drilling industries. Drilling Mud is important in the extraction of cuttings
during the drilling process. Bentonite, when mixed with water or foam,
forms a slurry, which is pumped through to the drill bit. This slurry and foam mix
helps the cuttings to rise to the surface, thus helping in achieving a cost effective
drilling process.

Sealing of drilled holes can be done by pouring Bentonite tablets or pellets down
the hole and filling with water. Being solid, the tablets do not float but set in place and
swell, causing the hole to be sealed.
