Bentonite Sodium Grade API 13A Made in Iran

Iranian sodium bentonite is a high-swelling clay mineral composed primarily of montmorillonite (aluminosilicate). With a montmorillonite content of ≥85%, swelling value ≥24 ml/2g, and pH of 8.0–10.0, it meets API 13A standards for drilling-grade applications. It is widely used in drilling fluids, foundry sand, ceramics, tiles, purification, cosmetics, paints, animal feed, and as a micronized absorbent. Available in sodium, calcium, micronized absorbent, granular, and activated forms.

The Supply Chain Department at Sahi Rasa Company supplies Iranian bentonite for export to Afghanistan, Iraq, the Kurdistan Region, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Armenia, Georgia, Turkey, and Syria. Whether for oil and gas drilling, foundry operations, or ceramics production, the department ensures reliable supply, competitive pricing, and comprehensive logistics support.

2. Product Overview

Bentonite is a naturally occurring clay mineral composed primarily of montmorillonite, an aluminosilicate with a layered structure. Its unique properties — including high swelling capacity, cation exchange capacity, and thixotropic behavior — make it indispensable in a wide range of industrial applications. Sodium bentonite, in particular, is known for its high swelling value and excellent colloidal properties, making it the preferred grade for drilling fluids and foundry applications.

Iranian sodium bentonite is characterized by a montmorillonite content of ≥85%, a swelling value of ≥24 ml/2g, and a pH of 8.0–10.0. It meets API 13A standards for drilling-grade bentonite, ensuring reliable performance in oil and gas exploration. In foundry applications, bentonite is used as a binder in molding sands, providing green strength and thermal stability. In ceramics, it improves plasticity and green strength of tile and sanitaryware bodies. In purification, bentonite is used as an adsorbent for oils, fats, and wastewater treatment. In cosmetics, it serves as a thickener and adsorbent in face masks and creams. In animal feed, it acts as a pellet binder and anti-caking agent.
