Key Properties & Applications

Roasted bentonite granules undergo high-temperature processing (around 700°C) which fundamentally alters their structure, resulting in a sterile, hard, and highly absorbent material.

Properties :
• Enhanced Absorption Capacity :
  The roasting process significantly increases the surface area and porosity, allowing the granules to absorb and retain a high amount of liquid active ingredients (up to 20% mass by mass) while remaining free-flowing.
• Chemical Inertness & Sterility :
  High heat makes the granules chemically inert, preventing unwanted reactions with the products they carry (like pesticides or fertilizers) and increasing shelf life.
• Controlled Release :
  When the granules come into contact with water in the soil, they release the active ingredients slowly over a long period, reducing the chance of washout in heavy rain.
• Dust-Free Handling :
  They are dust-free, which improves safety during handling and processing in industrial applications.
• Soil Amendment :
  As a natural clay product, bentonite helps improve soil structure, aeration, moisture retention, and nutrient availability.
