1. What is bentonite and what is it used for?

Bentonite is a type of mineral clay with high absorption capacity and a layered structure. It is widely used in industries such as drilling, foundry, agriculture, water treatment, livestock feed, and detergent production. Arka Powder processes and classifies bentonite with high precision to supply various industrial and agricultural grades.

2. Where can I buy high-quality bentonite?

To purchase premium bentonite with standard analysis, you can submit your request through the Arka Powder website. With over 30 years of experience and a fully mechanized production line, the company supplies all types of bentonite directly from the factory to customers nationwide.

3. What is the difference between sodium bentonite and calcium bentonite?

Sodium bentonite has higher absorption and swelling capacity, making it ideal for drilling and grounding (earthing) applications. Calcium bentonite is better suited for foundry, livestock feed, and agricultural uses. Arka Powder produces both types with high purity.

4. What role does bentonite play in drilling applications?

In drilling oil, gas, and geotechnical wells, bentonite helps cool the drill bit, transport cuttings, and stabilize the borehole walls. Arka Powder’s drilling bentonite is produced according to API standards and provides stable performance at various depths.

5. What are the benefits of using bentonite in livestock and poultry feed?

As a natural feed additive, bentonite helps absorb toxins, improve digestion, and increase feed efficiency. Arka Powder’s feed-grade bentonite is carefully analyzed, free from heavy metals, and suitable for farms and feed factories.

6. What is earthing (grounding) bentonite and why is it used?

Earthing bentonite is a type of sodium bentonite with high conductivity used in grounding systems to reduce soil resistance and enhance electrical safety. Arka Powder’s products are widely used in industrial and construction projects.

7. What is the difference between various bentonite mesh sizes?

Mesh sizes (100, 200, 300, 400) represent the particle size of the bentonite powder. Higher mesh numbers indicate finer particles and greater absorption properties. The right mesh size depends on the industrial application, and Arka Powder’s experts can help you choose the most suitable one.

8. How is the price of bentonite determined?

Bentonite pricing varies depending on its application (drilling, feed, agriculture, etc.), purity, water absorption capacity, and mesh size. To receive the latest bentonite prices, you can contact the sales department through the request form on the Arka Powder website.
