Kelevan Bentonite Powder – 10 kg Bag
Description
Product Description
Kelevan Bentonite is a high-purity, natural clay mineral specifically processed to maximize its hydration and swelling properties. When mixed with water, this premium-grade bentonite expands significantly to form a viscous, gel-like matrix that effectively blocks water flow and stabilizes loose soil structures. Its unique composition ensures rapid gel formation and superior thixotropy, making it an indispensable material for demanding construction and industrial projects.
Key Features & Benefits
- High Expansion Ratio: Absorbs large volumes of water to create a dense, self-sealing barrier against fluid leakage.
- Excellent Plasticity: Provides consistent workability and structural integrity in slurry and mud mixes.
- Natural & Durable: Offers long-lasting performance without the need for complex chemical additives.
- Versatile Application: Suitable for both wet and dry process applications in various engineering contexts.
Primary Applications
This product is widely utilized in civil engineering for constructing slurry walls and stabilizing excavation trenches. It is also a critical component in drilling muds, where it helps maintain borehole stability and carries cuttings to the surface. Additionally, it serves as an effective waterproofing agent for foundations and a binding material in industrial foundry sands.
