Bentonite

API- Bentonite (section 9):
Description & Applications
API Bentonite is a premium-grade bentonite (a sodium montmorillonite clay) It is used as
a primary filter-cake-building, filtration-control and suspension agent in freshwater
systems, and has application in all water-base mud systems. API Bentonite is a high-quality product which meets API 13A Section 9 Specification.
API- Bentonite (section 11):
Description & Applications
API-(section11) Bentonite is used to increase viscosity and reduce fluid loss in water base
drilling fluids. It is a cost-effective means of achieving viscosity, fluid-loss control and
filter-cake quality in freshwater and seawater mud.
Civil work OCMA Bentonite:
Description & Applications
Civil work bentonite is an easy to mix, high yield sodium bentonite formulated to provide
viscosity and fluid loss control in water based mud systems that meets piles, civil work,
water drilling, and diaphragm walls drilling requirements.
High Gelling Bentonite:
Description & Applications
an easy to mix, high yield sodium bentonite formulated to provide viscosity and
fluid loss control in water-based mud systems that meets HDD, Tunnel boring, and
diaphragm wall drilling requirements.
Plastic Concrete Bentonite:
Description & Applications
Plastic concrete bentonite is one of the most important materials in Plastic concretes due
to causes to fill voids of concretes.
Sea Water Gel (SWG):
Description & Applications
SWG is a naturally occuring clay mineral used as a drilling fluid. SWG complies with API
13A section 12. SWG is designed for use in drilling fluids whenever ionic contamination
from materials such as salts, gypsum, seawater, and cement are encountered or anticipated.
Activated Ceramic Bentonite:
Description & Applications
Bentonite binds particles together in ceramic bodies to make them stronger in the green or dry state. Its minute particles fill voids between others to produce a denser mass with
more points of contact.
Adding bentonite to glazes also imparts better.
dry strength and a harder and more durable surface.
To fully appreciate how plastic, hard and strong bentonite
can be, try mixing 25:75 with silica and preparing plastic test bars.
