Bentonite is a natural product. It is ground in mills after
treatment/blending to very fine powder. Bentonite is basically composed of the
mineral montomorillonite which occurs in extremely fine particles.
Bentonite also contains beidelite (montomorillonite family) as principal
mineral. Bentonite is mixed with sand to impart plasticity and strength to it in
the presence of moisture. The fine particle size and high moisture absorption,
that is, high swelling property of bentonite give bonding strength or adhesion
to the mass of sand grains. This standard keeps in view the quality of bentonite
available in the country and known to be commercially exploited.
