Bentonite
Bentonite is a light-colored rock composed mainly of clay minerals with very small crystals, chiefly montmorillonite, formed by the chemical alteration or decomposition of volcanic ash, tuff and lava rich in aluminum and magnesium.
Scientifically, it is a soft, plastic, porous and light-colored material made up mainly of smectite-group minerals containing colloidal silica, generally formed by the devitrification of volcanic ash and tuff through chemical alteration.
Sepiolite
Industrial sepiolite is a rock with a dull oily appearance and moisture-retention capability. When first extracted from the quarry, it has a dark brown color.
As the moisture evaporates, its color becomes lighter and turns into a coffee tone. Its fast moisture absorption can be observed very easily.
In addition;
When mixed with feed in livestock farming, it can help improve efficiency and support ammonium balance in animals.
Calcite
Calcite is crystallized calcium carbonate with the chemical formula CaCO3. It may be transparent, white, yellow, rustic green or bluish in color. Its hardness is 3 and its specific gravity is 2.71.
