Binding strength and ceramic-body density
Activated Bentonite for Stronger Ceramic Bodies and Glazes
Fine activated bentonite binds ceramic particles, fills voids and improves green and dry strength. In glazes, it supports dry strength and a harder, more durable surface.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION
Sodium, calcium and activated bentonite selected by application
Bentonite performance depends on mineral type and end use. Drilling, foundry, pelletizing, civil-engineering, ceramic and cat-litter applications require different rheology, swelling, bonding, absorption and particle-size criteria. Numeric specifications are published only from approved technical records.
Technical values are provided according to the selected grade and applicable TDS or COA.
