Bentonite for Textile

Bentonite is used in the textile industry for a variety of applications. One of its main uses is as a sizing agent for yarn and fabric. Sizing agents are used to improve the weaving process by adding strength, stiffness, and other properties to the yarn or fabric.

Bentonite is particularly useful as a sizing agent because of its ability to absorb water and form a gel-like substance. When applied to yarn or fabric, the bentonite forms a thin layer on the surface that helps to improve its handling characteristics during weaving.

Bentonite can also be used as a clarifying agent in textile processing. It is added to the wastewater generated during the processing of textiles to remove suspended solids and other impurities. This helps to reduce the environmental impact of textile manufacturing by ensuring that the wastewater discharged into the environment is free of harmful contaminants
