Teague Mineral Products Industrial 200 Bentonite

Teague Mineral Products Industrial 200 Bentonite is a high swelling sodium bentonite suitable for a wide variety of industrial uses, including soil sealant, grouting, slurry trenching, horizontal drilling, pelletizing, water well drilling, and cementation of drill holes. This bentonite comes from an extremely pure deposit in eastern Oregon and contains a very high Montmorillonite content, the active clay mineral. TMP Industrial 200 is not treated with polymers.

Conditions

*TMP Bentonite is in its natural dry state at this moisture. Due to a smaller flake size, and a higher montmorillonite (clay) content, TMP bentonite has more retained water in its internal molecular structure than similar Wyoming types, while the bulk density is the same.
