Calcium Bentonite Lumps – Premium Industrial Clay

Premium quality Calcium Bentonite (Calcium Montmorillonite clay) supplied as natural lumps, crushed and screened for consistent performance across industrial applications.

What is Calcium Bentonite?

Calcium Bentonite, also known as Calcium Montmorillonite clay, is a natural clay known for its excellent absorption properties and neutral pH. Supplied in crushed and screened lumps, it is a versatile material used across industries for binding, absorbing, and stabilizing purposes.

Unlike Sodium Bentonite, Calcium Bentonite has lower swelling capacity but provides stable and reliable performance, making it ideal for industrial applications where consistency is key.

Applications of Calcium Bentonite Lumps

1. Animal Feed Binder

Calcium Bentonite acts as a natural binder for animal feed pellets, ensuring better feed quality, stability, and digestibility. Its neutral pH makes it safe for livestock consumption.

2. Iron Ore Pelletization

Used in the steel industry, Calcium Bentonite helps in forming iron ore pellets, providing strength and uniformity during the pelletization process.

3. Civil Engineering

In construction and geotechnical projects, Calcium Bentonite is employed for soil stabilization, sealing, and lining applications, leveraging its absorption and binding properties.

4. Foundry Applications

Calcium Bentonite is a key material in foundry molds for casting metals. Its natural properties ensure good mold strength and smooth surface finish.

5. Oil Absorbent & Cat Litter Production

Due to its high absorbency, it is widely used in oil spill clean-up and as an ingredient in cat litter, effectively trapping liquids and odors.

Benefits of Using Our Premium Calcium Bentonite

  • Natural, crushed and screened lumps for consistent quality
  • Excellent absorption and binding properties
  • Neutral pH, safe for animal feed and industrial applications
  • Suitable for multiple industries, including feed, iron ore, civil engineering, foundry, and oil absorption
  • Reliable Indian supplier, ensuring fast delivery and competitive pricing
