Sodium Bentonite – The Versatile Sealing and Absorbent Clay
Sodium Bentonite is a natural clay material with extraordinary swelling, sealing, and binding properties. Known for its ability to absorb water and expand many times its original volume, Sodium Bentonite forms an impermeable barrier that makes it highly valuable across a wide range of industries. At Hippo Minerals, we proudly supply premium Sodium Bentonite to customers throughout South Africa, providing dependable quality, competitive pricing, and reliable delivery.
This high-performance clay is composed mainly of sodium montmorillonite, a mineral with strong molecular bonds that give Bentonite its unique absorbent and cohesive characteristics. When mixed with water, it creates a gel-like consistency that can seal leaks, stabilize soil, or act as a binder in various manufacturing and drilling applications.
Sodium Bentonite is widely used in civil engineering, mining, drilling, construction, and environmental protection. It’s ideal for creating sealing layers in dams, ponds, and landfills, as well as for drilling fluids in borehole and oilfield operations. In foundries, Bentonite is used to bind molding sands, while in agriculture, it improves soil conditioning and moisture retention.
