Sodic bentonite can absorb up to 10 times its own weight in water and can swell to 18 times its dry volume. Thus, it can be applied where its colloidal properties can be exploited. Bentonite has a wide variety of uses including foundry, animal feed, drilling mud, absorbent, industrial, and specialty uses.
