Contact SupplierBentonite slurry is one of the most common excavation fluid used in constructing diaphragm wall. The gel strength and viscosity properties of the bentonite clay allow for cutting suspension and removal. Piling Grade Bentonite Powder is used traditionally as a support, lubricant agent in walls and foundations, tunneling and horizontal drilling. Viscosity and plasticity plays very important role. Bentonite slurry walls are used in construction, where the slurry wall is a trench filled with a thick colloidal mixture of Bentonite and water. The important characteristics of Piling Grade Bentonite Powder is that it covers large surface area, good plasticity and lubricity, low filter loss, excellent gel strength, good impermeability & low compressibility.
