How does bentonite clay work?

Answer #1

Bentonite is crushed and compacted, geologically processed volcanic ash. It is microscopically porous, so it is able to soak up many times its own weight in water, turning into a gelatinous paste, then back to a solid as it dries. Its absorbency and gelling action make it ideal for cat litter, It turns to gel and sticks together, and then dries into one loosely connected ‘’clump’’.
