Tixobent® SF4

Tixobent® SF4 is a premium, high-yield bentonite with optimized rheology, specifically developed for deep foundation works under different soil and water conditions.

Its well-balanced rheological profile and low filtrate loss make it ideal for mixed soil conditions, including sand and clay. It develops high viscosities at lower dosages.

Primary applications

  • Diaphragm walls
  • Bore piles
  • Pipe jacking/ microtunneling
  • High yield – Achieves high viscosity at lower dosage
  • Fast swelling – Ready to use after 1 hour swelling time
  • Resistant – Less sensitive to salt and gypsum contaminated grounds/ water

Weight: 25 kg

Dimension: 57 x 38 x 12cm

The usual packing use a 25 kg paper bag on heat-treated and fumigated wood pallets.

To provide the most economical and environmentally friendly packaging solution, TIXOBENT SF4® is also available in jumbo bags on heat-treated and fumigated wood pallets.
