bentonite

Dal Cin has been self-developing and marketing specialties for a wide range of uses, with a focus on “industrial” consumption, in particular:
Bentonite Natural and sodium activated calcic for multiple uses.
Filter materials For solid-liquid separation in the “oil” and “industrial filtration” fields.
Agrospecialty low environmental impact.

bentonites

Dal Cin have been dealing with the bentonite since 1949

Industrial processing of bentonite takes place at the Dal Cin plant in Foggia, Italy, where the raw product, previously sorted from quarries in the Mediterranean area, arrives by ship.

Quality controls on the raw bentonite allow to decide the proper working process, and the best results in terms of activation and application are achieved.

A few words about Bentonite.

THE MAIN INDUSTRIAL USES OF BENTONITE

Mangimistics

The binding capacity of bentonite is exploited in pellet production, resulting in more efficient drawing work as well. As an additive in feed, it exploits the adsorptive power of particularly effective in capturing and eliminating mycotoxins.

Ceramics industry

Plasticizing component of ceramic mixtures, tiles, glazes and sanitary ceramics.

Paper industry

It improves the efficiency and quality of pulp-to-paper conversion. Due to the adsorptive capacity, it is also useful in the recycling process for ink removal (antipitch effect).

Enology and beverages

High-quality bentonite is used as a clarifying and deproteinizing agent in wine production and food beverage clarification.

Granulation

Because of its ability to impart cohesion and colloidal properties, it is used as a binding additive in the granulation of charcoal.

Cleansing and cosmetics

Suspending/viscosifying additive for detergents, creams, powders and handwash paste.

Agriculture

Binder in the formulation of pelleted fertilizers; natural co-formulant for pesticides in powder and flowable formulation.

Water treatment

Auxiliary of polyelectrolytes and inorganic flocculants to promote flocculation and sedimentation of dirt.

Ingegneria Civile

Because of its waterproofing properties, it is used to seal the bottom of landfills and waterproof reservoirs.

Bentonite
"calcic"

High % calcic bentonite in montmorillonite, an ideal co-formulant for imparting plasticity and cohesion to mixtures:

  • binder additive for granulation plants

Bentonite
"medium activation"

Medium thickening and suspending power, widely used:

  • colloidal binder for theceramic industry
  • Cohesive/binding agent for the production of grinding wheels and abrasive pastes
  • formulation of detergents and handwashing paste
  • technological additive for pesticides and fertilizers
  • adjuvant for clarification of food juices

Bentonite
"high activation"

Wide range of swelling, thickening, viscosifying and agglomerating bentonites, widely used in various industries:

– Deinking and retentive(paper/cardboard production)
– binder additive(pellet production)
– Mycotoxin adsorbent(feed industry)
– waterproofing(construction industry)
– Powder and creams/gel(cosmetic preparations)
– Formulation of liquid and paste detergents/detergents

Bentonite
"micro"

Special bentonites of high purity and extremely fine grain size.

In suspension, they prevent phase separation and sedimentation of the components in the mixture due to their remarkable viscous strength.

Bentonite
"granule"

High % montmorillonite calcic and sodium bentonites, available in various granule sizes. Convenience of use, ease of dosing, and no dust.
