Metal Casting (Primary Use)<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Bentonite is used as a <b>binder<\/b> in: <b>Green sand molds, <\/b><b>Foundry molding sand, <\/b><b>Core sand mixtures.\u00a0<\/b><b>Metals poured: <\/b>Grey iron, Ductile iron, Steel, Aluminum, Brass and bronze<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><b>2. Sand Reclamation:\u00a0<\/b>Helps in reusing molding sand multiple times, maintains consistency in green sand systems.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><b>C. Hot Strength Improvement: <\/b>Improves high-temperature resistance of the mold during metal casting.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><b>D. Moisture Control: <\/b>Bentonite absorbs water and helps maintain the right moisture level in molding sand.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><b>E. Green Sand Additive:\u00a0<\/b>Reduce defects, enhances mold wall strength, improves collapsibility,\u00a0provides smooth cast surfaces.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<article  class='iconbox
