CALCIUM BENTONITE 

Calcium Bentonite is a naturally occurring clay mineral created from the weathering of volcanic ash. It contains a high concentration of calcium-based montmorillonite, giving it exceptional absorption, binding, and purification qualities.
Because of its natural structure and high surface area, Calcium Bentonite plays an important role in agriculture, industrial processing, environmental protection, and personal care products.

In agriculture, it helps improve soil structure and moisture retention. In animal feed, it supports toxin absorption and improves overall feed quality. In industrial use, Calcium Bentonite is applied in filtration, bleaching, absorbent products, and ceramic formulations. It is also commonly used in skincare due to its gentle cleansing and detoxifying properties.

Its consistency, purity, and eco-friendly nature make Calcium Bentonite one of the most versatile and widely used natural minerals across multiple industries.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)    


Ans: We are an Export House based in Bhavnagar, strategically leveraging the region’s high-quality Calcium Bentonite reserves. Our strength lies in our robust sourcing network. We partner with multiple premier local miners and processors in the Bhavnagar district to ensure consistent access to the finest quality raw material and finished products.

Ans: Yes, we specialize in sourcing and supplying both natural and activated grades. We maintain a curated network of processors who utilize advanced Sodium Activation Technology to enhance the swelling and clumping properties of the raw Bhavnagar clay. Our technical team ensures the activation level and specific processing (like Double Roasting) meet the precise technical specifications required for your end-application, such as premium Cat Litter or specialized Foundry use.

Ans: Absolutely, dust-free is a mandatory standard for all premium cat litter sourced by us. We only partner with processors who adhere to the Double-Roasting and rigorous Multi-Sieving (Dedusting) process. Our agreements with these specialized units ensure that the dust content is consistently maintained below the critical 1% threshold, guaranteeing a clean and healthy product for your customers. We enforce this standard through pre-shipment quality inspection.

Ans: We offer a wide range of packaging:

  • Consumer Packs: 5kg / 10kg / 20kg (HDPE or Paper Bags).

  • Bulk Packs: 25kg / 50kg PP Bags.

  • Jumbo Bags: 1000kg / 1250kg Big Bags with lifting loops.

Ans: Our MOQ is typically one 20-foot container (approx. 24-27 Metric Tons). This ensures the most cost-effective freight rates for you.

Ans: Leveraging our strategic base in the Bhavnagar region, we primarily utilize Pipavav Port (APM Terminals) due to its operational efficiency and lower inland haulage costs. However, as an export house with a wide logistics network, we regularly ship from major ports like Mundra (Adani Port) and Nhava Sheva (Mumbai Port) to ensure the best freight rates and vessel schedules for your destination.

Ans: Yes, we provide free product samples (up to 2kg) for lab testing. The buyer only needs to cover the courier/shipping charges.
