High Yield Bentonite

Hi-Yield Bentonite viscosifier is a premium Wyoming bentonite blended with special extenders, for a product that yields more than twice as much viscosity as API Wyoming bentonite. Hi-Yield Bentonite is an easily mixed bentonite for freshwater and extended bentonite systems.

Yields quicker than API-standard bentonite, non-toxic, and proven suitable for use in drilling potable water wells. Increases penetration rates due to lower solids content than standard API bentonite systems.
