Bentonite Powder PILOGEL® is a premium-grade Natural Sodium Bentonite manufactured by Ashapura, one of the world’s leading industrial mineral producers. Specially formulated for piling, drilling, and foundation engineering applications, this high-performance bentonite powder delivers outstanding swelling capacity, superior viscosity, excellent filtration control, and exceptional borehole stabilization.
Produced from carefully selected natural sodium bentonite deposits and processed under strict quality control standards, Bentonite Powder PILOGEL® provides consistent performance even under the most demanding site conditions. When mixed with clean water, it rapidly hydrates to form a highly stable drilling slurry that protects borehole walls, minimizes fluid loss, suspends drill cuttings, and enhances drilling efficiency.
From high-rise buildings and bridges to metro rail systems, ports, power plants, highways, and deep foundation projects, Bentonite Powder PILOGEL® is trusted by contractors, consultants, and engineers for its reliable performance and proven field results.
Bentonite Powder PILOGEL® is a high-quality sodium bentonite specially developed for civil engineering and drilling applications. Its excellent rheological properties enable it to produce a stable drilling fluid capable of supporting borehole walls while efficiently transporting drill cuttings to the surface.
The slurry also forms a thin, low-permeability filter cake around the borehole, reducing water loss into surrounding soil and preventing collapse. This improves drilling safety, reduces downtime, and increases overall construction productivity.
Bentonite Powder PILOGEL® is produced from naturally occurring sodium bentonite containing a high percentage of Sodium Montmorillonite, which provides excellent swelling and viscosity characteristics.
The product contains:
This optimized composition ensures consistent slurry performance and reliable results across different geological formations.
Rapid water absorption allows the bentonite to expand significantly, creating an effective seal around borehole walls and improving ground stability.
Develops excellent slurry viscosity for efficient suspension and transport of drilled soil particles.
Forms a strong protective filter cake that prevents borehole collapse in sandy, gravelly, and loose soil conditions.
Reduces fluid penetration into surrounding formations, minimizing slurry loss and improving drilling efficiency.
Keeps drill cuttings suspended during drilling and temporary work interruptions, preventing sediment accumulation.
Reduces friction between drilling tools and borehole walls, extending equipment life and improving drilling performance.
Produces a large volume of drilling slurry from a relatively small amount of bentonite, reducing material consumption and operating costs.
Disperses rapidly in water using conventional mixing equipment, allowing quick preparation and consistent slurry quality.
Bentonite Powder PILOGEL® is suitable for a wide range of construction and drilling applications, including:
Its versatility makes it one of the most preferred drilling-grade bentonite products in the construction industry.
Compared to ordinary bentonite and conventional drilling clays, Bentonite Powder PILOGEL® offers several significant advantages:
These benefits contribute to higher productivity, lower maintenance costs, and improved project performance.
For optimum slurry preparation:
Following recommended mixing procedures ensures maximum drilling efficiency and slurry performance.
Bentonite Powder PILOGEL® is commonly available in:
Custom packaging options can also be provided based on project requirements.
Store the product in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated warehouse away from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep bags tightly sealed until use and stack them on pallets to prevent moisture absorption. Proper storage helps maintain product quality and hydration performance throughout its shelf life.
Bentonite Powder PILOGEL® is a naturally occurring mineral; however, standard industrial safety practices should always be followed.
Bentonite Powder PILOGEL® is a world-class Premium Sodium Bentonite designed to deliver exceptional performance in piling, drilling, and geotechnical engineering applications. Its high swelling capacity, superior viscosity, excellent filtration control, and outstanding borehole stabilization make it the preferred choice for cast-in-situ piling, bored piling, borehole drilling, diaphragm wall construction, HDD, water well drilling, and major infrastructure projects.
With consistent quality, easy mixing, high slurry yield, and proven field performance, Bentonite Powder PILOGEL® helps contractors improve drilling efficiency, reduce operational costs, enhance project safety, and achieve long-lasting construction success.
