Effective binder for industrial use.
Versatile mineral with absorption properties.
Bentonite is used in a wide range of applications within the foundry industry as a binder, as the mineral can withstand high temperatures.
Bentonite is a versatile and effective binding agent used across a variety of industrial applications, from foundry molding sands to iron ore pelletising. At LKAB Minerals, our high-grade Bentonite ensures strong binding properties, making it an essential component for industries like construction, oil drilling, and animal feed. Its ability to form stable bonds helps in reducing waste and improving production efficiency, particularly in foundry processes.
Depending on your casting method, we offer a range of Bentonite products.
Both the ceramics industry and paper industry use white Bentonite.
In ceramics production, our customers use this to improve the green strength and the ceramic body properties.
While for papermaking, the product provides pitch control and improves the paper quality.
For your convenience, we designed our high-efficiency Bentonite-based grouting materials specifically for geothermal wells. Supplying our product this way ensures easy:

We can deliver the product in 25 kg paper sacks, 1,000 kg bulk bags, or as bulk.
Bentonite is derived from volcanic ash and consists predominately of smectite minerals, usually Montmorillonite. We categorise this product as a sedimentary deposit containing >50% Montmorillonite which is volcanic in origin. Montmorillonite is a dioctahedral layer silicate, and in sodium form swells when mixed with water to form dispersed colloid-size particles.
There are two common types of Bentonite for commercial use; sodium (or swelling) Bentonite and calcium Bentonite.
Bentonite is non-toxic and inert. LKAB Minerals do not offer this product for consumption in any form.
