BENTONITE FOR MINING BOREHOLES
- It is used to increase viscosity and to control filtering
- it reinforces the bore walls and suspends cuttings.
- It increases drilling mud claning ability.
- It provides stability to minimize risk of collapse in unstable formations.
- It approximately doubles the yield of common bentonites.
- It is easy to mix in order to obtain a high viscosity mud.
