THAT IS A BENTONITE?
Bentonite is a montmorillonite-rich clay. It consists essentially of hydrated aluminum silicate lattice structure flattened
There are several types of bentonite and its name depends on the dominant element. The two main industrial use bentonites are calcium bentonite and sodium bentonite.

BENTONITE DRILLING LODBENT
The product of using high-quality bentonites from a selection of our mines, so that the bentonite "LODBENT" safety record is a great quality in drilling fluids for oil drilling, water and geothermal energy.
Bentonite drilling "LODBENT" when mixed in proper proportions per cubic meter of drinking water should have a total hardness no greater than 180 parts per million.
Giving the drilling mud prepared appropriate physicochemical specifications such as viscosity, density, volume and colloidal stability of free water, akimbo, and so on.
To make the bentonite drilling fluid bentonite based lodbent are correct you will need:
1. Extraction of the cuts being made by the auger
2. Cool and lubricate the bit and drill pipe
3. Formation of an impermeable crust akimbo or wall drilling.
4. Suspend the courts and material weight when movement is stopped in the pit.
Sodium bentonite
Montmorillonite is found naturally and contains a high level of sodium ions. It swells when mixed with water and can increase up to 12 times. volume
Calcium Bentonite
Montmorillonite is one in which the predominant exchangeable cation is calcium. It exhibits the swelling capacity of sodium bentonite, but has absorbent properties.
In addition to its absorption properties, the bentonite has the interesting property adsorber1 a lot of protein molecules from aqueous solutions. This property is derived from the use of bentonite in winemaking, such as stones and cat health in the production of animal feed.
The main industrial applications of bentonite are:
• drilling muds
• molding sands for metal industry
• Pelletizing
• deposits as a sealant in both toxic and hazardous waste, such as low and medium radioactive activity
• development of grounding systems
• buildings and civil works
• manufacture of ceramic pastes
• manufacture of soaps
• pharmaceutical manufacturing
• cosmetics
• paints
• clarification of wines and juices
• Animal health stones (cat litter)
• leather processing
• textile designs
