Bentonite Powder

Bentonite Powder is a naturally occurring clay material, mainly composed of montmorillonite. It is widely used in piling and foundation engineering due to its excellent thixotropic properties, high swelling capacity, and ability to form a protective slurry wall. This helps stabilize boreholes and prevents the collapse of soil during pile foundation and drilling operations.

Key Features

• High Suspension Property – Ensures stability of boreholes.

• Excellent Thixotropy – Provides gel strength for effective support.

• Good Swelling Index – Expands and forms impermeable layers.

• Prevents Soil Collapse – Maintains borehole integrity during drilling.

• Environmentally Safe – Non-toxic and eco-friendly clay material.

Applications in Construction

• CFA (Continuous Flight Auger) piling

• DMC (Direct Mud Circulation) piling

• Rotary & Hydraulic Rig piling

• Diaphragm wall construction

• Drilling fluid in boreholes and wells

Technical Specifications (Typical Values)

• Swelling Index: 12–15 ml/2 gm

• Gelling Time: 8–10 minutes

• Moisture Content: 10–12%

• pH Value: 9–11

Advantages in Piling Work

• Forms a strong, impermeable slurry to prevent soil erosion.

• Provides lubrication, reducing wear on drilling tools.

• Improves borehole cleaning and stabilizes pile shaft.

• Cost-effective and reliable solution for deep foundation work.
