In what context would you like to know more about bentonite? The basic information was written above by Mr. Herlad G. Dill. Bentonite is used in many areas of life from the metallurgical industry, through drilling both oil and HDD, ending with the wide use of bentonites in cosmetics. When it comes to the use, hydration process and general concepts regarding bentonites in drilling, I will be happy to help, especially with applications related to Horizontal Directional Drilling.
