An economical white montmorillonite, K 129 combines a low iron content with a high cation exchange capacity. This unique set of properties enhances the workability of ceramic formulations and maintains an excellent fired color. In detergents, K129 Bentonite is an ideal ion exchange builder, while in liquid soaps it imparts thixotropy and a smooth consistency.
