Montmorillonite Desiccant is processed from natural mineral montmorillonite, with irregular granular, powder, spherical appearance. The moisture absorption rate of Montmorillonite Desiccant depends on the content of montmorillonite. It has the characteristics of obvious expansion after moisture absorption and non-corrosiveness. It has advantages in precision instruments, military industry, and medical treatment.

Montmorillonite Desiccant is a non-metallic mineral with montmorillonite as the main mineral component. The montmorillonite structure is a 2:1 type crystal structure composed of two silicon-oxygen tetrahedrons and a layer of aluminum-oxygen octahedron. There are certain cations in the formed layered structure, such as Cu, Mg, Na, K, etc., and the interaction of these cations with the montmorillonite unit cell is very unstable and easily exchanged by other cations, so it has good ion exchange. Foreign countries have been applied in more than 100 departments in 24 areas of industrial and agricultural production, and there are more than 300 products, so people call it "universal soil."
Bentonite Desicca T is an adsorbent made of bentonite as raw material, processed by inorganic acidification, rinsed with water, and dried. The appearance is milky white powder, odorless, odorless, non-toxic, and has strong adsorption performance. It can adsorb colored substances and organic substance. It is easy to absorb moisture in the air, and it will reduce the adsorption performance if placed for too long. However, heating to above 300 degrees Celsius will begin to lose crystal water, which will change the structure and affect the fading effect. Activated clay is insoluble in water, organic solvents and various oils, and is almost completely soluble in hot caustic soda and hydrochloric acid, with a relative density of 2.3 to 2.5, and very little swelling in water and oil.
