An untreated powder, non-API grade used primarily for construction of liners, caps, and other hydraulic barrier facilities. Due to its fine particle size, i t is primarily used with pug mill mixing methods for liner projects. BARA-KADE Standard sets performance standards seldom achieved by manufactures of "premium" bentonites.

Foundry A southern bentonite consisting of a high calcium concentration. This is a non-swelling bentonite that offers substantially lower dry and hot strengths by comparison to a western bentonite. These physical attributes, when used in moderation, will improve sand flow ability and ease shake-out sand conditions. Primary use is in the production of non-ferrous castings.

Bentonite Cure The name bentonite refers to a clay first identified (or named) in cretaceous rock. The notion of eating clay to produce internal healing will no doubt strike many as farfetched if not a little primitive. But natural clay, especially the form known as bentonite, has not only been used medicinally for centuries by indigenous peoples around the world, but has, in recent years, been increasingly prescribed by practitioners of alternative medicine as a simple but effective internal cleanser to assist in reversing numerous health problems.
Bentonite is not a mineral but a commercial name for montmorillonite, the active mineral in many medicinal clays and which comes from weathered volcanic ash. This name derives from Montmorillon, France, where the medicinal mineral was first identified. Sometimes mineralogists use the term smectite instead to describe the same substance.

It is one of the most effective natural intestinal detoxifying agents available and has been recognized as such for centuries by native peoples around the world. Whatever the name, liquid clay contains minerals that, once inside the gastrointestinal tract, are able to absorb toxins and deliver mineral nutrients to an impressive degree, says Knishinsky. Liquid clay is inert which means it passes through the body undigested.
