Overview
Premium Sodium based bentonite is used as Earth (Ground) Enhancement Material contains rich montmorillonite. It is treated with special chemicals making it ideal for electron earthing. Bentonite being hygroscopic & moisture absorbing clay with various advantages is being widely used for Ground Enchaining Compound. Our product has a good water holding capacity which ensure good ion by means of ion exchange with electron
Bentonite protects earth conductor from direct contamination and corrosion. It’s a type of clay which has high tendency to absorb, retain water and swells. This property makes it desirable for applications in grounding system improvement as they could result in lowering as well as minimizing the fluctuation of ground resistance over a long period of time.
Several commercially forms of earthing enhancement material are available such as ores, powder and granules.

Applications:
Preparation of Slurry is the most important aspect for getting the best result out of BENTO ELECTRON. The slurry is prepared in the following Proportion (BENTO ELECTRON: Water Ratio) • For areas that receive good annual rainfall, the mixing ratio is 1:1, i.e. for each bag of BENTO ELECTRON (25 Kg), mix 25 Liters of water. • For dry areas that does not receive good annual rainfall, the water part in the slurry is increased to 1.4 – 1.5 times i.e. for each bag of BENTO ELECTRON (25 Kg), mix around 35-38 Liters of water depending upon the severity of dryness.
Note: Application ratios are mention on basis of our shared experiences from our valued customers. Self evaluation of product behavior on your process and end product is advisable. Mixing BENTO ELECTRON with water properly to make homogenous & swelling thick slurry is EXTREMELY important in achieving the required results from the product.
