Food Grade Bentonite
Bentonite is a clay mineral with montmorillonite as the main component. The clay has good cohesiveness, swelling, adsorption, plasticity, dispersibility, lubricity, and cation exchange. After being exchanged with other bases and lithium bases, it has quite strong suspensibility, and has excellent decolorization after acidification. Therefore, it can be made into various suspending agents, adsorbents, decolorizing agents, and purifying agents, which are widely used in the food industry.
