Granulite ™
Granulite™ is an expanded shale or comparable natural metamorphic rock
Granulites are a class of high-grade metamorphic rocks of the granulite facies that have experienced high-temperature and moderate-pressure metamorphism. A granulite may be visually quite distinct with abundant small pink or red pyralspite garnets in a ‘granular’ holocrystalline matrix.

BENTONITE INFORMATION
This natural sodium bentonite is a hydrous silicate of alumina made up mostly of montmorillonite. This clay swells several times its own volume when water is added. The #40 is granular and often used in sealing and lining applications that involve wet soils. It is also used in conditions that need to minimize dust particles.
Packing: 50 lb multi-wall bags
2,000 lb and 4,000 lb sack
