Get CatalogBentonite is an aluminum hydrosilicate clay rock consisting essentially of smectite minerals, primarily montmorillonite [(Na,Ca)0.33(Al,Mg)2Si4O10(OH)2·nH2O]. In the French industrial landscape, procurement specifications demand precise mineralogical grading based on Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC), thermal stability, thixotropic gel strength, and particle size distribution.
Operating our integrated captive white calcium bentonite mine in Fatsa, Ordu (Türkiye), MyBentonite provides direct mine-to-factory supply chains to French procurement directors. Our raw bentonite reserve features exceptional natural brightness, low iron concentration ($Fe_2O_3 < 0.8\%$), and an active montmorillonite content exceeding 85%–92%.
From underground infrastructure in Île-de-France to world-famous vineyards in Bordeaux and Champagne, our bentonite grades fulfill strict national regulatory frameworks.
In major French civil engineering projects such as the Grand Paris Express tunneling and deep foundation works, activated sodium bentonite slurries are mandatory per NF P94-051 standards. Our hydro-drilling bentonite provides rapid hydration, high API yield volume (>16 m³/MT), and low filtrate loss to stabilize trench walls under tough hydrostatic groundwater pressures.
France’s premier wine regions (Bordeaux, Burgundy, Alsace, Champagne) require top-tier natural calcium bentonite for protein stabilization and heat-clarification of musts. Our white calcium bentonite features low heavy metal release, preserving wine organoleptic integrity while efficiently flocking thermolabile proteins without stripping aromatic compounds.
Serving automotive casting foundries in the Hauts-de-France and Grand Est industrial basins, our foundry grade bentonite ensures superior thermal durability, high green compression strength (>110 kPa), and excellent wet tensile strength, drastically reducing casting defects under high temperature liquid metal pouring.
Compare our core calcium and activated sodium bentonite chemical parameters tailored for French B2B buyers.

Many mineral suppliers operating in the European market act merely as mid-tier traders. MyBentonite owns and operates its mineral extraction bench and automated processing facility in Fatsa, Ordu (Türkiye). This single-source model guarantees absolute batch-to-batch consistency and total supply chain traceability.
Understanding shifting regulatory and consumer expectations across Metropolitan France.
French retail buyers (Carrefour, E.Leclerc, Jardiland, Truffaut) are enforcing strict indoor air quality and low-dust thresholds. Pet owners in urban centers like Paris, Lyon, and Marseille heavily favor 99.5% dust-free white bentonite and biodegradable plant-based alternative litters to minimize respiratory allergens.
French supermarket chains are rapidly expanding their private-label pet care offerings. Importers require complete turnkey OEM/ODM services—including custom artwork adaptation, French packaging copy compliance, and Euro-pallet (800x1200mm) logistic wrapping.
With major public infrastructure investments, French construction engineering groups require suppliers with verified REACH documentation, low carbon transportation footprints, and flexible bulk shipment schedules into major logistics hubs.
Clear technical answers addressing customs, regulatory compliance, packaging, and logistics for the French market.
Bentonite is a naturally occurring mineral and is generally exempt from REACH registration under Annex V.7, provided it is not chemically modified. However, importers must be provided with a complete Safety Data Sheet (FDS - Fiche de Données de Sécurité) in French, along with batch Laboratory Analysis Certificates confirming heavy metal thresholds and quartz/free silica levels.
Turkish white calcium bentonite from Fatsa, Ordu has a naturally high aesthetic white color, low iron content, and superior instant liquid absorption. Unlike grey sodium bentonite, white calcium bentonite produces tight, clean clumps without leaving dirty sludge or high dust tracks on home floors—a key selling point for French pet buyers.
We supply shipments standardized for European logistics: heat-treated ISPM-15 wooden Euro-pallets (800 x 1200 mm) stretch-wrapped with corner edge protectors. Retail bags are packed in 5L, 10L, or 15L printed PE/PP bags with EAN-13 barcodes, while industrial orders utilize 1,000kg to 1,250kg Big Bags.
Containerized sea freight from Samsun or Istanbul ports directly to Marseille-Fos (Southern France) or Le Havre (Northern France) typically takes between 7 to 12 days in transit. Total fulfillment including order manufacturing, packaging, and custom printing runs between 2 to 3 weeks.
Yes. Our white calcium bentonite undergoes ultra-fine pulverization and purification to comply with OIV (International Organisation of Vine and Wine) standards. It provides targeted protein de-proteinization without stripping sensitive wine aromatics in French white and rosé winemaking.
Absolutely. We provide batch samples (0.5-1mm fine, 1-3mm classic, 2-5mm coarse) along with customized perfume dosing (baby powder, lavender, marseille soap, active carbon) for full trial evaluation prior to series manufacturing.
