BENTONITE GRANULAR 1TON JNJ 100218
The Bentonite range of products produced by JNJ Resources Company is a quality sodium bentonite comparable to the best of the known deposits in Australia.
Bentonite is a generic name given to a family of naturally occurring colloidal aluminium silicate clays, which invariably contain a substantial proportion of montmorillonites.
These montmorillonites are a wide range of chemicals based on aluminium silicate with other metals, notably magnesium, sodium, potassium and calcium in combination as silicates, in a wide range of proportions.
Most bentonitic clays contain a proportion of sodium, calcium and magnesium simultaneously with minor percentages of other metals as ion exchange elements, but it is the relative proportion of these main exchange ions which is a major factor in determining the physical properties of the clay.
Sodium montmorillonite is characterised by having a high ion exchange capacity, high moisture retention properties, and on dispersion in water, an extremely high surface area.
Bentonite is used for:
Animal feeds
Dam sealing and industrial landfill
Landfill lining and capping
Industrial absorbents
Agriculture & horticulture
Beauty products
