Bentonite API Grade

Product Description

Bentonite Powder offered by us is an absorbent aluminium. The powder helps in formatting the weathering of volcanic ash, most often in the presence of water. Term bentonite as well as a similar clay called ton stein, have been used for clay beds of uncertain origin. We offer two main classes of bentonite namely, sodium and calcium Bentonite, for varied purposes.

Description:
It is a special type high molecular weight polymer and is used in very small quantity to increase the viscosity of API Bentonite suspension of very low concentration of bentonite in the system.

Application:
With its two-fold yield is able to maintain a given viscosity with one-half the normal clay solids. This is an excellent additive for low solid drilling fluids. It also tends to cause drilled solids to form agglomerates and settle out. This further enhances its use as an additive in weighted and unweighted non-dispersed drilling fluid systems.

COMMON NAME - BENTONITE EXTENDER (API)

Advantages:
It extends the yield of bentonite and is capable of doubling the yield of bentonite in very concentration.
Penetration rates are improved by better solid control.
Bit bearing life is extended by better solids control.
Mixing time is reduced due to lower bentonite concentration necessary for required rheology.
Less wall cake build up due to minimum amount of drilled solids.
