Sodium bentonite powder is derived from the weathering of volcanic ash often found in deposits formed millions of years ago It is one of several types of bentonite known for its exceptional waterabsorbing capacity This fine powdery substance is created by grinding and processing natural sodium bentonite clay resulting in a product with diverse applications across industries

Key Characteristics of Sodium Bentonite Powder

1 Swelling Capacity Sodium bentonite powder possesses an extraordinary ability to absorb and retain water When it comes into contact with liquid it swells creating a gellike mass This property makes it highly effective in various applications where moisture absorption is required

2 Thixotropy Sodium bentonite exhibits thixotropic behavior meaning it becomes less viscous when agitated and returns to a highviscosity state when left undisturbed This property is advantageous in many industrial processes

3 Sealing and Barrier Properties Due to its swelling nature sodium bentonite is widely used for sealing and creating impermeable barriers in applications such as pond lining well drilling and environmental remediation

4 Cation Exchange Capacity CEC Sodium bentonite has a high CEC allowing it to adsorb and exchange ions This property is valuable in soil amendments where it can improve soil structure and nutrient retention

Following are some common Applications of Sodium Bentonite
