ENVIROPLUG® 3/8 Coated Bentonite Pellets, 50 lbs

NVIROPLUG® TABLETS are manufactured for use in piezometer holes, monitor wells and other sealing and plugging applications and are available in 1/2”, 3/8”, and 1/4” sizes. ENVIROPLUG® TABLETS swell in water to more than 10 times their original volume

ENVIROPLUG® TABLETS should be poured directly into the hole or may be placed by the tremie method. Since the result desired is actually a “bentonite pack”, some care must be used in placing the tablets to prevent bridging, just as in gravel packing. The tablet seal or plug should be placed against a clay or other impervious formation. Tablets should be allowed to hydrate 1 to 2 hours before a bentonite grout medium is installed. If a cementitious grout is being used allow 2 to 4 hours for hydration as cement can restrict or prevent proper bentonite hydration
