Sodium Bentonite is a naturally occurring hydrated aluminum silicate & it is a rock composed essentially of
a crystalline clay-like mineral formed by devitrification and the accompanying chemical alteration of a glassy
igneous material, usually a tuff or volcanic ash.
Used as a foundry sand, paints, fuller's earth,
drilling mud, bleaching clay, filtering agents, water impedance, inks, additive to ceramic materials,
and iron ore pelletizing, Pharmaceuticals, beverage, food, cosmetics, and personal care products.
