Bentonite Cement Pellets



~ Borehole sealing~ Conductive medium for cablennngrouting

~ Borehole decommissioning

~ Pre-formed pellet ~ No grouting/mixing machines

required

~ Simple & easy to use~ Environmentally friendly~ Low permeability

Features

Bentonite cement pellets are used in construction or drilling and tunneling projects for sealing applications where more strength is required than can be achieved with pure Bentonite alone. This product is used to seal off contaminated land, seal around pipes or tunnels, seal up bore holes, fill voids, protect pipes and cables in conduits or provide a more conductive medium for cable grouting.
