The inherent swelling characteristics of Wyoming Bentonite have proven a superior binder. Big Horn® Bentonite is used in foundry sands and iron ore pelleting operations around the world. It is used in agricultural applications as a binder for livestock feed such as alfalfa cubes and mineral supplements. Sulfur and fertilizer prilling firms use bentonite to stabilize their products and release vital nutrients to the soil. Even cat litter utilizes the unique characteristics of Wyoming Bentonite to form clumps and reduce odor. |
