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.
