Bentonite

Bentonite is blended from naturally occurring materials designed to provide high gelling, lubricative and suspension properties in grouts or slurries.

The product is supplied in fine powder form and is off white/yellow in colour and has a flour type appearance.

Uses

Bentonite is used either as a pipe jacking and tunnel shield lubricant or as a slurry or as a gelling material in grouts that need thixotropic properties.

Bentonite is also used to create cut offs in diaphragm walls, for piling and also as a drilling mud.
