Sodium Bentonite

Sodium Bentonite is a versatile industrial clay that expands when it comes into contact with water. Its excellent swelling capacity, viscosity, and binding properties make it valuable across several industries. When properly mixed with water, it forms a stable suspension that helps control fluid loss, suspend particles, and seal gaps.

In drilling operations, Sodium Bentonite helps prepare drilling mud, stabilise boreholes, and remove drilled cuttings. Construction companies use it in waterproofing systems, soil sealing, slurry walls, and other ground engineering projects. Foundries also use this clay as a binder in moulding sand to improve mould strength and maintain shape during metal casting.

Sodium Bentonite also supports environmental and industrial applications, including landfill lining, pond sealing, and selected wastewater treatment processes. Its performance depends on the clay grade, purity, particle size, water chemistry, and mixing conditions.

NOKS Industrial Systems supplies Sodium Bentonite for customers who require dependable industrial materials for construction, drilling, manufacturing, and related applications. We serve businesses across Kenya, Uganda & Tanzania and help customers select suitable materials for their operational needs.

Applications of Sodium Bentonite

• Drilling operations: Supports drilling mud preparation and borehole stabilisation.
