Calcium Carbonate
Ground calcium carbonate, graded for consistent brightness and particle size.
Learn MoreBentonite and zeolite are aluminium silicate minerals that can occur together naturally, but each has distinct properties. Bentonite is a water-swelling clay used in dam sealing, clumping cat litter, pelletising applications and drilling mud where its flow properties are especially useful.

The table below shows our two bentonite grades: ECCABOND N, a powder for general industrial use, and ECCACAT, a granular grade suited to cat litter. Swelling index and cation exchange capacity (Cation EC) indicate absorbency and reactivity: ECCABOND N’s higher swelling index and Cation EC suit it to general applications requiring stronger binding or suspension properties, while ECCACAT’s granular form and lower swelling index suit absorbent litter use.
| Grade | Type | Swelling index (ml/2g) | Cation EC (meq/100ml) | Applications | Stocked In |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ECCABOND N | powder | 25 | 76 | General | CPT |
| ECCACAT | granules | 15 | 65 | Cat Litter | # |

ECCABOND N's swelling index of 25ml/2g drives its use in dam lining and gives suspension and binding performance in general industrial applications, where rheology control matters.
Supports absorption and binding, key for both industrial use and the odour/moisture control needed in cat litter.
Bentonite's clay structure absorbs liquids effectively, the core property behind ECCACAT's cat litter application.
Safe and consistent for general-purpose use across industrial and environmental applications. Approved for use in animal feed.
