GOLDEN SANDS / Applications

Industrial uses of bentonite.

Begin with the application, the buyer’s specification and the required performance. Composition and preparation determine which uses are suitable.

Conceptual laboratory view for bentonite testing

Four areas of potential application

01

Binding applications

Selected bentonite grades are used in foundry moulds and iron-ore pellets. Binding strength, thermal behaviour and consistency help determine qualification.

02

Drilling & fluid control

Bentonite can provide viscosity, suspension and filtration control in drilling fluids. Performance must be tested against the intended application and specification.

03

Sealing systems

Selected grades may be suitable for sealing applications. Swelling, permeability and site-specific requirements determine fit.

04

Absorbent applications

Sorption and other specialist uses depend on mineral composition, preparation and the performance required by the process.

These are general industry uses of bentonite, not confirmed applications or specifications of Golden Sands material.

From buyer requirements to product acceptance.

Define the application, specification, volume and destination. Review relevant technical findings when available, then consider evaluation samples subject to availability and agreed arrangements. Customer acceptance comes before potential trial supply.
