Bentonite’s main component is the clay mineral montmorillonite, together with associated minerals that include quartz, tridymite, cristobalite, mica, feldspar, pyrite and calcite.
The mineral is mined from various locations across the world before being ground to form a powder. Various additives may be added to the bentonite to enhance its performance.
Bentonite expands when wet, absorbing as much as eight times its dry mass in water. This allows it to permeate cracks and crevices, forming a self-sealing low permeability barrier – this is known as a bentonite slurry wall.
Bentonite (Manufacturing & Supply) Ltd can supply the following high-quality and effective bentonite grouts, bentonite cement slurries and other products.
Used as either a powder or in granular form, sodium bentonite is a natural clay that expands when wet to create a low permeability, self-sealing barrier against water.
Common applications include:
Bentonite (Manufacturing & Supply) Limited is also an approved supplier of CEBO UK Ltd products and is able to offer both supply and installation of the following products for cable ducting.
Comprising a special mixture of bentonite and graphite to create an all-in-one solution for making the heat transfer from power cables to the surrounding soil considerably more efficient. Offering high thermal conductivity and high flowability, these gels offer non-hardening suspension and can therefore be quickly and easily removed if required.
Please note that the densities of the following products range from 1096kgs/m³ to 1519kgs/m³, depending upon Thermal Resistivity value requirements. See the data sheets for more details.
