Bentonite clay is a naturally occurring absorbent clay composed mainly of montmorillonite, a type of smectite mineral formed from the weathering of volcanic ash. Known for its swelling properties and high water absorption, bentonite is a key industrial mineral used in drilling, foundry work, construction, and environmental protection. Its ability to form a gel-like consistency makes it valuable across multiple industries.
Oil & Gas Drilling: Used in drilling muds to lubricate and cool drilling bits and stabilize boreholes.
Foundry Industry: Acts as a bonding agent in molding sand for metal casting.
Construction: Used for sealing, waterproofing, and geotechnical barriers in foundations and dams.
Environmental Uses: Effective in waste containment, landfill liners, and groundwater protection due to its impermeability.
Cosmetic & Health Products: Increasingly used in facial masks, detox formulas, and pharmaceuticals for its natural absorbent and purifying properties.
Pakistan has large and high-quality bentonite reserves, primarily found in:
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa: Deposits in Karak and Kohat districts.
Balochistan: Significant reserves in Khuzdar, Lasbela, and Dera Bugti regions.
Sindh: Smaller deposits in Thatta and Hyderabad, used mainly for industrial applications.
