High Viscosity Bentonite (HVBe)
Our HVBe consists of rheology modified from selected montmorillonite clay with its optimized swelling, viscosity and thixotropic properties. Having these properties in the products are not only essential but also crucial to make sure that they perform and stable under different conditions of soils, pressure & maintain its slurry-formation. They’re usually applied in slurry-form, developed to attain maximum hydration of the product itself. When they’re dispersed in water under high shear mixing condition, it’ll break down in plate-like particles, negatively charged onto their surfaces and positively charges along their edges.
Our High Viscosity Bentonite products are utilized from offshore/onshore drilling in oil & gas exploration industries to civil engineering projects such as soil-trenching, tunneling, diaphragm walls, sealants, water proofing and soil stabilization applications.
Some features and applications of our HVBe are
- Waterproofing properties that are best to be utilized in the environmental engineering field, acting as a sealant
- High swelling and gelling qualities when dispersed and mixed in water, creating a suspension and maintain slurry uniformity at the base of the excavation
- Low in filtrate loss, maintaining the shape and preventing any fluid loss and/or intrusion into the soil
- Easy pumping
- Supports and remains in the excavation to stabilize and prevent the collapse of foundation work
- Versatile applications in either thick, dense or more fluid slurry applications
- Complies to the API (American Petroleum Institute) specification 13A Section 6 (OCMA Grade bentonite)
- Manufactured in the facility as per ISO 9001:2015 & GMP standards
Available in 25kgs, 1000kgs bags or bulk road tankers of up to 25,000kgs
