Pluxbenton N: Technical Data Sheet

This technical data sheet provides information about Pluxbenton N, a natural sodium bentonite used in winemaking for clarification and stabilization. Pluxbenton N removes proteins from wine, ensures clarification, and reduces compounds responsible for oxidation and light strike defects. It is applied to wine in doses of 40-200 g/hL and can be used during fermentation or post-fermentation for clarification and stabilization. Pluxbenton N must be rehydrated before use and added to wine while pumping over.

TECHNICAL

DATA SHEET

FINING

PLUXBENTON N
Natural sodium bentonite in granular form.

COMPOSITION
Natural sodium bentonite in granular form.

GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
Pluxbenton N is an excellent protein removal with a good clearing efficacy.
Pluxbenton N is very effective in reducing riboflavin, the molecule responsible for the “light-struck” defect in
white wines.
In white and rosé wine, it can be used together with Goldenclar Instant, for white and rosé stabilization and
clarification before filtration.
APPLICATIONS
Must
• remove proteins that can cause protein instability in wine;
• ensure good clarification;
• drastically reduce oxidases, such as tyrosinase and laccase, responsible for juice oxidation.
In fermentation
• ensure a stable and complete fermentation process, at the end of which a clear wine is obtained.
Wine
• ensure complete clarification and protein stability:
• prevent the “light struck” defect.
DOSAGE
▪ 40 - 200 g/hL (3.3 – 17 lb/1,000 gal) for must or wine;
▪ 20 - 60 g/hL (1.7 – 5 lb/1,000 gal) during fermentation;
▪ 100 - 250 g/hL (8.3 – 20.7 lb/1,000 gal) for vinegar.
Preliminary laboratory trials are recommended to determine the correct dosage. Very unstable wines
may require higher dosages than those indicated above.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Rehydrate one part Pluxbenton N in 20 parts cold water, stirring continuously until a homogeneous
suspension is obtained. Allow to swell for 12-24 hours, then mix again and add to juice or wine while
pumping over, preferably using a metering pump or a Venturi tube. Best results are obtained by adding
the bentonite to at least half of the volume to be treated.
PACKAGING AND STORAGE CONDITIONS
