APPLICATIONS

DRILLING & CONSTRUCTIONS

Mac-Gel Bentonite is suitable for both drilling and construction industries where it is utilized to control viscosity , maintain drill-hole or excavation dimension and suspend cutting.

Its use is widely recommended in all mud application such as

- Water Explorations
- Piling
- Diaphragm Wall
- Well Drilling
- Tunnel Excavations
- Ore Mine Constructions
- Drill and Typical Excavations in general



FOUNDRY MOULDING SAND

Mac-Gel Bentonite is processed from high content (more than 80%) of specially selected montmorillonite. Its properties will suit all kinds of foundry application.

Mac-Gel’s reliable properties guarantee :

1. High liquid Limit (more than 500%) when using in a wet system , ensures proper permeability and also allows the sand mixture easy to make a high quality mould.

2. High green compression and green shear strengths and including green hardness for high quality mould making.


3. High ml of methylene blue indicates that Mac-Gel possess more active montmorillonite content and also high reclaiming characteristics.

4. Better break down due to lower strength when using in a dry system.


CERAMIC INDUSTRY

Mac-Gel Bentonite is processed by montmorillonite and complies with the requirement of ceramic industries. It’s suitable for both body and glaze where it is used to control viscosity , develop thixotropic properties in suspension.


Mac-Gel allows higher green strength in the body and lower usage of clays in the formula.


 

PET LITTER

Mac-Gel is highly adsorbent mineral Bentonite particularly suitable as a quality Pet Litter.


• Mac-Gel reacts immediately ; it forms compact lumps when it becomes wet , so that not a single drop can pass through.


• Mac-Gel has a low dust grain texture and does not stick to paws and fur.


• Mac-Gel is a special clay with good adsorptive properties. It is an environmentally safe product. After use , it can be reemployed as a composting aid.


• Mac-Gel adsorptive capacity assures safe binding of bacteria and odours without and chemical additives.
