Article Summary: Many people do not know what bentonite is, in fact, bentonite is also called porphyry, with strong water absorption, expansion, plasticity and binding ability, often used in putty powder.
Bentonite, also known as porphyry, bentonite, etc., is a clay rock, also known as montmorillonite clay rock, the main component of which is montmorillonite. Bentonite is special for putty powder, which is a special material used to paint the wall in the process of decoration home decoration and tooling, and putty powder contains part of bentonite. Bentonite has good properties such as expansion, suspension, bonding, lubrication and so on. Adding pure white bentonite to putty powder can enhance the whitening effect, has good bonding performance, for the wall after painting, there will be a better grasp of the wall effect, so that the adhesion of putty powder is stronger, so that putty powder does not leave traces.
Ten functions of bentonite
First, drilling mud. Bentonite has good suspension and thixotropy in aqueous solution, when there is external stirring, the suspension liquid is a sol with good fluidity, and after stopping stirring, it can arrange the gel of the network structure of the bulk space by itself, and does not settle and water precipitation, this characteristic is especially suitable for the preparation of mud during the drilling process.
Second, the binder for metallurgical pellets. Bentonite has a good water absorption, dispersion, lubrication, thickening and other properties, through the action of water as a way to achieve the bonding of iron concentrate powder, is the most important component of metallurgical pellets with binder.
Third, molding sand binder. Sodium-based bentonite, like ordinary bentonite characteristics, has the characteristics of strong forming performance, strong plasticity and good reusability, and is suitable for pouring wet or dry models in the metal industry, so it is the preferred molding sand binder for precision castings.
Fourth, feed additives. Because bentonite contains more than 10 different mineral components, most of them are necessary macro and trace elements in the process of livestock growth and phylogenetic development, which has many benefits for the growth and development of animals.
Fifth, cat litter. Cat litter has always been the largest application market for bentonite, accounting for 29% of its total consumer economy. As one of the most common species of cat litter, bentonite has a strong ability to adsorb liquid and odor, uniform particle size, and is not easy to decompose after wet.
Sixth, medicinal suspension aids. Because bentonite has a suspended nature, it is easier to make a suspension for administration, especially for children and the elderly with difficulty swallowing problems, which brings a convenience to taking the drug.
Seven, antidiarrheal drugs. When it comes to bentonite to stop diarrhea, everyone may be unfamiliar, but when it comes to montmorillonite, you will suddenly realize. Montmorillonite is the main component of bentonite. It mainly adsorbs viruses and bacteria in the intestine and protects the intestinal mucosa.
Eight, desiccant. Bentonite is widely made into desiccant due to its adsorption activity, reducing static humidity and deodorizing characteristics.
Nine, animal and vegetable oil decolorizing agent. The adsorption and transfer decolorization treatment has good performance, and has the effect of decolorization, deodorization, detoxification, and reducing the oxidation of oil.
Ten, wine clarifier. Clarification of various wines with sodium-based bentonite.
