We will absolutely be using Lonestar again.Thank you LonestarJohn S.John S. ★★★★★ I have had 4 other pond builders out to a location in the hill country of desired 1ac pond. All 4 were ready to start escavation without researching soil content, collection potential, or if a well would be needed to supplement water supply. Rick came out several times and brought with him an experienced excavation operator. He took soil samples which he tested, and lasered elevations. His bid was reasonable and in line with others. But after his research we decided that this project was not a good idea. He saved me from a bad experience. But if I was going to proceed he would have been my only choice to proceed with out of the 5 pond contractors that were interviewed.jerry H.jerry H. ★★★★★ Extremely professional and very easy to work with. They provided us with a great product in a very timely manner. I highly recommend working with lone star materials!amy S.amy S. ★★★★★ Rick & Art did a wonderful job on expanding our 1/4 acre pond to a 3/4 acre pond that did not hold water.

What is Sodium Bentonite?

Volcanic ash deposited in lakes millions of years ago is Sodium Bentonite. Mineral soap was named by an American geologist who discovered expanding water clay in and around rocky formations near Fort Benton. It wasn’t until the 1920s that researchers invented the term “bentonite” to describe this clay.

Because of its colloidal qualities, sodium bentonite swells many times its dry size when wet, generating an emulsifier gelling sort of mud. Nature’s sealant, thanks to its fascinating characteristics. This property of sodium bentonite clay makes it ideal for filling both small and big voids or voids, making sodium bentonite an effective sealer.

Sodium bentonite pond sealer serves as a barrier between the water and the surface, preventing water seepage, which is necessary when building any water body, such as ponds, dams, wells, and lagoons.

Most state regulations in the United States require wastewater deposits and treatment plants to be sealed with a layer of sodium bentonite pond sealer to prevent toxic materials from seeping underground. It’s a 100 percent natural mineral with no chemical additives to prevent contaminants from leaking into the ground. That’s one of the reasons for bentonite’s excellent sealing characteristics.

Its ability to “clump” makes it the primary factor in cat litter. It also helps control the odor, making it ideal for kittens and their indoor needs. While cat litter does contain additional ingredients and some chemicals, these are generally added for your pet’s comfort and are completely safe. This “clumping” property is especially important in the foundry, where sodium bentonite holds the green sand mold together.

Sodium bentonite powder is also a component of drilling mud used on oil wells and tunnel construction. Drilling mud is crucial during excavation because it helps manage well pressure, displaces cut bits to prevent mud cakes from forming, reduces heat generated by friction during the drilling operation, seals the walls of the well, and lubricates the drill.

In the steel industry, sodium bentonite can be used to aid in the manufacture of steel pellets. As a sealant for underground tunnels or foundations in construction. In the construction of ponds, tanks, and artificial lakes as a liner. As a fertilizer and pesticide disperser in agriculture. The list continues on and on, with new uses for sodium bentonite being discovered all over the world.

This property of bentonite clay is favorable for filling small and large voids or spaces. Sodium bentonite pond sealer acts as a barrier between the water and the surface, preventing seepage of water, which is an essential requirement while constructing any water body, like ponds, dams, wells, and lagoons.
