Bentonite powder fine – natural

This bentonite powder fine – natural from Natao comes from Germany. It is therefore a fine powder. Made in Germany. It is not cleaned, but left in its precious naturalness for you.

Occurrence and origin

Bentonite was named after Fort Benton, Montana, in the USA. However, the bentonite powder fine – natural offered here comes from the deposits in Germany. The mining areas are located in eastern Upper Bavaria and Lower Bavaria. The rock consists of a mixture of various clay minerals.

Components

The main component is montmorillonite, accounting for 60–80%. It has a high water absorption capacity and swells readily. It is formed through the weathering of volcanic ash. The internal surface area of a gram is 400-600 square metres. Ordinary clay has an internal surface area of just 2 square metres. That is why bentonite forms particularly valuable clay-humus complexes. It is therefore a great addition to compost too!

Areas of use

Bentonite is also used in civil engineering, amongst other things. For example, in building waterproofing and even in dyke construction. It also serves as a lubricant during the driving of tunnels and pipes, as well as when vibrating in thin-walled structures. Furthermore, it is used as a stabilising fluid in unsupported drilling operations. When extracting geothermal energy through borehole heat exchangers, the collector pipes in the ground are often surrounded by bentonite. The reason for this is that it binds the water and prevents the formation of voids when it freezes. Furthermore, there are numerous possible applications.

Bentonite and its energetic charge

Bentonite particles are negatively charged. These properties bring with them an exceptionally high absorption capacity of positive substances. Substances that can be harmful and unhealthy to our bodies, for example, are positively charged. These are, among others: Heavy metals, acids, pesticide residues, histamine and even radioactive particles. This means that other substances adhere to the surface of the fine natural bentonite powder of Natao and accumulate there. When you wash it away, they disappear with it.
