Bentonite Supplier for Oil Field Industries. It is a drilling-grade Bentonite which is naturally occurring clay. It is a High Yield Natural Sodium montmorillonite. It meets API 13A Standards. Bentonite, is a very fine grind material mostly a composite of clay minerals, especially montmorillonite which chemically describes as hydrous alumina-silicate and contains small amounts of alkali and alkali-earth metals.
Bentonite API, Montmorrilonite
• It is Viscosifier and Filtration control agent for water based Mud Systems.
• It is used in drilling muds for controlling bore hole stability. It is utilized in drilling muds to extract drill cuttings from the bit.
• It is also used for clearing cat litter
Bentonite, sometimes refer as sometimes referred to as Montmorrilonite is a naturally occurring substance, composed of a number of layers, each approximately 10 angstroms thick, and each consisting of two tetrahedral and one octahedral unit. This structure is responsible for three important characteristics, the ability to absorb large amounts of moisture, the ability to exchange ions and thixotropic gel formation.

Bentonite can be Broadely classified in 2 grades :
Granular: Granular is the preferred option for filling trenches where the conductor is covered with Bentonite and then water poured over and mixed in the trench.
Powder: Powder is the preferred method for pouring into bore holes to en-sure the mixture is of a thin enough consistency to reach the bottom of the bore hole. If diamond drilling is required for deep holes, possible 40m depths and deeper and the Bentonite is to be pumped through the core in to the hole, then powder would be the preferred option.
The greatest application of bentonite in industries is the result of its swelling property, while combine with water able to perform multitude jobs. The sodium bentonite having more water absorption capacity makes it suitable for industries like Foundry and Civil engineering application and the calcium bentonite absorb lesser than Sodium still it has some special application like cosmetics, paper, Animal feed binder as many more to describe. Swell Well Mine Chem drilling grade Bentonite is basically a sodium bentonite acquired naturally from the mines. The mineral is processed using the advanced chemical technology for drilling from ores. The below features highlights the quality of the Swell Well Mine Chem Drilling Bentonite, Offers impermeability, Provides high barrel yield. Bentonite is valued in foundry sand binding, drilling mud and sealing agent in civil engineering works, bentonite is used as a mud constituent for oil and water well drilling. Swell Chem Mine is offering Bentonite products for drilling industry. What is Drining Bentonite ? Drilling Bentonite is the Bentonite formed to be used in drilling mud or fluid.
Advantage
