Miscellaneous
- Family: Clay Other
- Region: None
- Mined At: Unspecified
- Raw Mineral: No
- Generic: No
Notes
A California calcium, low swelling, colloidal type bentonite clay. It is prime for water impedance, asphalt coating applications, drilling mud and is also used in such products as paints, adhesives and cleaning compounds where absorption and body are needed. It is the most grit-free bentonite produced for commercial scale.
Physical Properties
Specific Gravity: 2.6
Apparent Density (lbs/cu. ft): 47 for 200 mesh, 60 for 50 mesh
Tapped Density (lbs/cu. ft): 73/83
Dry Brightness: 56 for 200 mesh, 51 for 50 mesh
pH: 9.7
