Volclay Faz-2

Natural Toxin Binder


Volclay Faz-2® Powder is a unique, specialized Hydrated Sodium Calcium Aluminosilicate selectively produced from naturally occurring Calcium Bentonite with an average particle size of less than 200 mesh.

Product Features:

  • VOLCLAY FAZ-2 is used as a binder in animal feeds. Its capability of absorbing excess moisture and oil makes the pellets last longer and stay fresher. It can also be used as a digestive aid for animals. The benefits from bentonite are apparent as this can be observed in the production of higher-quality eggs, milk, and meat in the feeding industry.
  • VOLCLAY FAZ-2 prolongs the time food stays in the digestive system, as a result, more nutrients are absorbed by animals. Due to its absorbent capability. VOLCLAY FAZ-2 absorbs certain toxins in animals e.g., Aflatoxins B1, B2, G1, and G2. Fumonisin B1, B2, Zearalenone.
  • Purity: Hydrous silicate alumina comprised principally of the clay mineral montmorillonite. Montmorillonite content 70% minimum. Contains small portions of feldspar biotite, selenite, etc.
  • VOLCLAY FAZ-2 is characterized by extensive porosity and high surface area compared to other minerals.
