KM SR milled bentonite

Key Facts

  • KM SR milled bentonite is a low-to medium swelling bentonite ( typically 15-19ml/ 2mg ) powder
  • Particularly useful as a component in mixtures with contaminated soils,
  • When mixed with cementitious materials, can also provide a low-cost low-permeability barrier to prevent or channel the underground migration of effluents.
