Bentonite

Premium absorption properties for pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and drilling.

Product Overview

Tradionex offer their customers a wide range of quality products. Bentonite is used as libricator / thickener for drilling fluids. Drilling mud is crucial in the extraction of drill cutting during the drilling process. Bentonite, when mixed with water, forms a fluid (or slurry) which is pumped through the drill stem and out through the drill bit. The drilling mud or get also serves to cool and lubricate the drill bit as well as seal the drill hole against seepage and to prevent wall cave-ins. Our Drilling grade bentonite powder service a variety of function lubricating drill bits, stabilizing well bores removing rock cutting and improving drilling efficiency. Drilling mud or drilling gel is a major component in the well drilling process.
