Overview
Product Overview
KORVANTO BENTO IOP™ is a premium-grade bentonite specially developed for iron ore pelletization applications. Produced from carefully selected bentonite deposits and processed to deliver consistent performance it acts as an effective binder in the conversion of iron ore fines into strong uniform pellets for blast furnace and direct reduction iron (DRI) processes.
Its high swelling capacity excellent water absorption and superior bonding characteristics help produce pellets with outstanding green strength dry strength and fired strength while maintaining low bentonite consumption. The result is improved pellet quality reduced breakage enhanced handling efficiency and optimized steel production performance.
