Bentonite API Grade

API 13A Section 9 Bentonite – High Yield Sodium Bentonite in Ahmedabad

Filtron Envirotech (India) is a leading Manufacturer, Exporter & Supplier of API Grade Bentonite for drilling, piling, and construction applications across Ahmedabad. From the Ahmedabad Metro's foundation works to the city's new GIFT City high-rise developments, our API grade bentonite ensures superior drilling performance and cost-effective operations.

API Grade Bentonite is a premium quality sodium montmorillonite clay used as a viscosifier, fluid loss control agent, and lubricant in drilling fluids. In Ahmedabad, our bentonite is extensively used for diaphragm wall construction in the Sabarmati Riverfront Development, for pile foundations in commercial complexes at Prahlad Nagar and SG Highway, for water well drilling in rural Ahmedabad's agricultural areas, and for cementitious grouts in the city's infrastructure projects. Our bentonite is also used in the foundry industry in the Naroda area and for iron ore pelletizing applications in the region.

Advantages:

  • High yield & rapid hydration – Reaches target viscosity quickly with less material.
  • Superior cutting suspension – Prevents settling in deviated and horizontal sections.
  • Low API fluid loss – Builds a thin, tough filter cake that seals porous zones.
  • Excellent borehole stabilization – Reduces washouts and cavings in unconsolidated formations.
  • Versatile mixing – Can be pre‑hydrated or added directly through hopper into fresh water.
