Calcium bentonite clay, which is also known as Fullers Earth, is widely used in various industries, as well as beauty and natural health care.
Bentonex CB is a natural, non-activated calcium bentonite, milled and air classified to give a consistent fine powder, with <150 micron particle size. It is high quality fine powder comprised mostly of montmorillonite (88%) and has CEC (cation exchange capacity) of 76 MEQ/100g.
Calcium bentonite has calcium as a freely exchangeable cation (as opposed to sodium in sodium bentonite). Its pH is lower than that of sodium bentonite, so is more easily mixed with water.
Industrial applications include pelletising applications, fertiliser production, seed coatings and effluent treatment.
