Bentonite BENTSTAR

Description

GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS BENTONITE CLEANING

Bentstar is a clarifying bentonite composed of activated sodium monomorillonitic clay with the characteristic of swelling significantly in the presence of water, forming a homogeneous and creamy gel. It is generated by carefully controlling the size of dust particles and waste aggregates (sand) to ensure the purity required by Codex Oenologique International.

Bentstar comes in a light beige powder state with an optimal average particle size for perfect water dispersion and subsequent swelling.

In an acid (wine) it acts on the electrokinetic absorption, because it combines with negatively and positively charged substances (must or wine proteins) makes the vials form a compact deposit with the following advantages:

• high power to absorb proteins;
• slight dispersion;
• low content of inert substances;
• minimized volume storage;
• absence of foreign odors and aromas;
• absorption of polyphenols;
• elimination of enzymes, especially oxidative ones.

Therefore, we recommend using the product on white and red wines to clarify and stabilize the protein, which must take place before the yeast is inoculated or during fermentation.

USAGE CONDITIONS

Bentstar is slowly diluted in 10-12 parts of water by shaking vigorously to avoid lumps. Allow the solution to soak for 6 to 12 hours. Mix and add the volume to be treated.

DOSAGE

• 50-100 g / hl for young wines;
• 40-60 g / hl for wine already clarified;
• 80-150 g / hl for rich wines, tannins and yeasts;
• 50-100 g / hl for musts.

Preliminary laboratory tests are recommended, checking the amount of protein absorbed (bentotest), color absorption (DO420 and DO520). Also perform an organoleptic test.

COMPOSITION

• Montmorillonite clay (bentonite): 80 -100%;
• Compounds derived from silica: 0 - 20%.
