Ko te bentonite waro he momo kohuke kore-waro/pūhui ammonia waro. He mea hanga mai i te bentonite mā te whakamahi i te hanganga paparanga o te montmorillonite i roto i te bentonite me ōna āhuatanga o te pupuhi me te marara ki roto i ngā matūriki uku colloidal i roto i te wai, i te whakarewa waro rānei, me te whakauru i te kaihoko hipoki waro mā te hangarau whakawhiti katote. Ka taea e te bentonite waro te hanga gelatin i roto i ngā whakarewa waro, ngā hinu me ngā kapia wai. He pai te matotoru, te thixotropy, te pumau o te whakatārewatanga, te pumau pāmahana teitei, te hinu, te āhuatanga hanga kiriata, te ātete wai me te pumau matū. He uara nui tōna tono i roto i te umanga paninga. He whānuitia hoki te whakamahinga i roto i te peita, te mangumangu, te rererangi, te whakarewa, te muka matū, te hinu me ētahi atu ahumahi.

Ko ngā āhuatanga matua o ngā organobentonite ko te pupuhi, te horapa nui me te thixotropy. Mō te paninga, ka whakamahia te organobentonite hei ātete taunga, hei whakamātotoru, hei paninga ārai waikura whakarewa, ā, he āhuatanga tōna o te ātete waikura, te ātete kakahu, te ātete wai tote, te ātete pānga, me te kore e ngāwari ki te mākū; mō te umanga kakahu, ka whakamahia te organobentonite hei āwhina tae mō ngā papanga muka hangai; mō te waituhi tā tere-rahi, Whakatikatikahia te ōritetanga, te matotoru me te uruhanga o te waituhi kia rite ki te hiahia; i roto i te keri, ka taea te whakamahi i te organobentonite hei whakaū i te emulsion; i roto i te hinu pāmahana-teitei, ka whakamahia te organobentonite hei whakarite hinu pāmahana-teitei e tika ana mō te mahi pāmahana-teitei me te mahi roa.
