AMCOL is a leading producer and supplier of custom-processed materials comprised of Wyoming bentonites, North Dakota lignite, polymers and chemical additives that are  essential to oil and gas drilling operations.

In agriculture and horticulture our bentonite products are beneficial as flow control agents, animal feed pelletizing, and agricultural carriers. In agronomy our leonardite/humic acid products stimulate plant growth, improve the availability of nutrients and other trace minerals to plants and  improve soil properties such as aeration, permeability, water filtration, holding capacity and nutrient uptake.

AMCOL’s taconite grade bentonites used in pelletizing of iron ore for the steel industry,  combines agglomeration and thermal treatment to convert the raw ore into pellets with characteristics appropriate for use in a blast furnace.
