Types of Bentonite
There are 2 types of bentonite, namely sodium and calcium.
Sodium bentonite
- High swelling potential
- Used in foundries, oil drilling, piling, civil work, animal pellets(granules)
- Also used in the pharmaceutical industry and in industrial fire extinguishers
- This is a selectively mined and processed type of Bentonite used for the purification of water, specially in precipitating and removal of dissolved solids & other effluents. This has a higher viscosity and absorbing capacity.
Calcium Bentonite
- Low swelling potential
- Calcium bentonite is also known as Fuller’s earth
- Also used in the pharmaceutical industry and in industrial fire extinguishers
- It is used in foundries, for preparing insulation materials and as animal feed.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is bentonite clay, and what are its primary uses?
Bentonite clay is a natural volcanic ash-derived clay, primarily composed of montmorillonite, known for its swelling, adsorption, and binding properties. It’s widely used in:
- Foundries for sand bonding.
- Construction for pile sealing and waterproofing.
- Drilling, because it offers mud viscosity and helps with borehole stabilization.
- Agriculture, because it ensures beneficial soil conditioning.
- Pet care, since it enhances cat litter absorbency.
2. What bentonite grades does The Sharad Group offer?
At The Sharad Group, we supply four specialized grades:
- TSG Bfound: High-bonding bentonite for foundry molds.
- TSG PilePro: Construction-grade for pile foundations and sealing.
- TSG DrillSeal: Sodium bentonite for drilling fluid stabilization.
- TSG CatCare: Ultra-absorbent calcium bentonite for pet litter.
3. Why choose TSG DrillSeal for drilling applications?
TSG DrillSeal is a sodium bentonite grade with superior swelling capacity (up to 15x its volume). This ensures that it has several applications, such as:
- Borehole stability by forming impermeable mud cakes.
- Cuttings removal via high-viscosity gel.
- Lubrication for drill bits.
4. How does TSG Bfound enhance foundry operations?
At The Sharad Group, our Bfound Bentonite offers:
- High plasticity for precise mold shaping.
- Thermal stability to withstand molten metal temperatures.
- Low sand burnout, reducing casting defects.
5. Can TSG PilePro be used for waterproofing construction projects?
Yes! TSG PilePro is engineered for:
- Soil stabilization in foundations.
- Waterproofing trenches and tunnels.
- Swelling pressure to seal gaps in piles.
6. Is TSG CatCare eco-friendly for pet litter?
Absolutely. TSG CatCare is a non-toxic, calcium bentonite clay that offers:
- Clumping action for easy waste removal.
- Odour control via high adsorption.
- Low-dust formulation for pet safety.
7. Does The Sharad Group provide bentonite for agriculture?
Yes, at The Sharad Group, we offer custom solutions for agriculture, including:
- Sodium bentonite, which increases soil water retention.
- Calcium bentonite for nutrient binding.
8. What makes The Sharad Group a trusted bentonite supplier?
At The Sharad Group, we use our 60+ years of experience in mining and 300M+ tons of reserves to guarantee:
- Grade-specific purity (tested for montmorillonite content).
- Bulk supply with pan-India logistics.
- Sustainable mining in Gujarat’s rich deposits.
