Bentonite-based functional additives represent a wide range of products for a variety of sectors, formulated to impart specific properties or serve particular technological functions.
These additives help to improve product safety or quality, or offer new features.
Detergents
We produce bentonite used in the production of detergent powders for various purposes.

Detergents
Bentonite can be used as a softener, or as an aesthetic ingredient in the form of coloured granules. For thick detergent products such as creams and pastes, we produce bentonite with thickening and suspending effects. The top reasons for using bentonite in the formulation and production of detergents are as follows: – to soften; – to improve the formula; – to thicken/suspend solids within the detergent. Bentonite offers a softening effect by filling the micro-cavities in the fabric fibres, leaving the surface softer and more pleasant to the touch.
Ceramics
We produce a range of bentonite products that serve as rheological additives and thickeners, and that increase the workability of finished products.

Ceramics
In the world of ceramics, selected bentonite products impart good plasticity, which is vital for ensuring the strength of the raw mixes while maintaining good mouldability and stability with regard to the aqueous suspensions.
Wastewater Treatment
In the world of environmental and chemical engineering, wastewater treatment refers to the process of removing contaminants from wastewater of urban or industrial origin, which has been contaminated by organic and/or inorganic pollutants.

Wastewater Treatment
The compounds from the LAVIOUPUR LCM line are made from specially selected bentonite blends modified with polymers and other components, which are always dosed and mixed appropriately. This line of chemical additives provides alternatives to conventional multi-step chemical/physical treatments, which involve the use of different chemicals at different times and in different stages. LAVIOUPUR LCM thus allows the same results to be achieved more easily, quickly and effectively.
