Technical Details 
Superior Nutrient Exchange and Water AbsorptionBentonite Granules boast an outstanding cation exchange capacity and high water absorption levels. These properties help improve soil structure and boost nutrient availability for plants, making them highly effective as a soil conditioner. Their unique swelling ability enhances aeration and moisture retention, promoting optimum plant growth and resilient agricultural soil.
Versatile Industrial ApplicationsOur Bentonite Granules are not limited to just agricultural benefits. They are widely used in foundry processes, as biofertilizer carriers, and in pesticide formulations. The robust nature of these granules, with high crushing strength and stable granule size, ensures consistent performance across industrial applications, supporting efficient processes and delivering reliable results.
FAQs of Bentonite Granules:
Q: How can Bentonite Granules be used as a soil conditioner?
A: Bentonite Granules are mixed into soil to improve its structure, increase water retention, and enhance the soils ability to exchange nutrients. This results in healthier plant growth and improved productivity, especially in sandy or low-quality soils.
Q: What benefits do Bentonite Granules provide in biofertilizer and pesticide formulation?
A: Their excellent cation exchange capacity allows Bentonite Granules to effectively carry nutrients and beneficial microorganisms. In pesticides, their granular form ensures even distribution and prolonged efficacy by retaining moisture and active ingredients in the field.
Q: When should I use Bentonite Granules for agricultural soil improvement?
A: Apply Bentonite Granules before planting or during soil preparation to maximize soil conditioning benefits. They can also be used as a top dressing at the beginning of the growing season or when revitalizing depleted soils.
Q: Where can Bentonite Granules be applied besides agriculture?
A: Aside from agricultural uses, Bentonite Granules are essential in foundry processes, where they serve as binders, and in industrial applications requiring moisture control, absorption, and strength. They are also used as carrier materials in various formulations.
Q: What is the standard process for applying Bentonite Granules to the soil?
A: Evenly broadcast or mix the granules into the target soil area using conventional tools. After application, irrigate the area to activate the granules swelling properties and begin improving soil structure and water retention.
Q: Are there specific benefits to choosing granulated Bentonite over other forms?
A: Granulated Bentonite offers easy handling, uniform distribution, and high crushing strength, ensuring lasting performance. Its distinct size range (24 mm) and high water absorption make it superior for both agricultural and industrial purposes.
Q: How are Bentonite Granules packaged for supply and export?
A: We typically offer Bentonite Granules in durable 50 kg HDPE bags, but packaging can be customized according to specific requirements to ensure safe transport and storage.
