About Bentonite
Bentonite is an absorbent aluminosilicate clay primarily composed of montmorillonite minerals, widely utilized in drilling fluids, foundry sand binding, pet litter, cosmetics, and environmental remediation. International trade focuses on sodium bentonite and calcium bentonite grades, with Wyoming dominating global supply followed by Turkey, India, and China. These regions export both crude ore and processed products meeting ISO 10277 specifications. Buyers should verify swelling capacity and viscosity metrics, as bentonite's performance in drilling and industrial applications depends critically on montmorillonite content and purity levels, which vary significantly between deposits and processing methods.
