Natural Whiteness
Unlike grey or yellow clays, our raw ore requires zero chemical bleaching or synthetic dyeing. It maintains a clean, white visual standard that shoppers associate with premium hygiene.
World-Class Mineral Reserve
Direct Mining Reserves in Fatsa, Ordu – Türkiye
Operating from the heart of the world’s richest white calcium bentonite deposits, MyBentonite manages fully licensed quarry reserves in the Fatsa-Ünye basin of Ordu, Türkiye.
Türkiye controls approximately 75% of global high-purity white bentonite reserves, with nearly 80% concentrated in the Ordu region. By controlling our supply chain directly from the mining bench to the finished pallet, we offer international B2B buyers unmatched raw material consistency, full traceability, and long-term price stability.
- Single-Source Traceability: Every lot is extracted from surveyed open-pit benches with verified mineral profiles.
- Naturally White Clay: Exceptionally low iron oxide (Fe₂O₃) content ensures a bright cream-to-white color without chemical bleaching.
- High Montmorillonite Content: Smectite group structure guarantees instant liquid binding and high cation exchange capacity.

Core Advantages of Fatsa Calcium White Bentonite
Comparing white calcium bentonite with standard sodium or grey bentonites reveals distinct functional superiority for consumer litter applications.
Instant Clumping Strength
The high smectite mineral ratio enables rapid moisture absorption. Granules form tight, solid clumps within 2 to 5 seconds that do not break apart when scooped or transported.
Low Adhesion & Tracking
Engineered granule sizing ensures liquid stays near the top surface of the litter box, preventing sticky bottom residue while reducing paw tracking around household floors.
Natural Odor Lock
Natural cation exchange capacity chemically binds volatile ammonia compounds without relying on heavy artificial fragrances, making it suitable for sensitive cats.
Custom Sieve Options
From fine 0.5–1 mm micro-granules to classic 1–3 mm and coarse 2–5 mm low-tracking meshes, we tailor particle distribution curves to your exact regional market preferences.
Uninterrupted Supply
With massive proven reserve volume in Fatsa and dedicated port logistics along the Black Sea coast, we guarantee high-capacity container shipments year-round.
Quality Control Workflow
From Quarry Reserve to Export Container
Every stage of production is executed under rigid ISO quality guidelines within our integrated mining and processing facility.

De-dusting
Multi-stage air classification removing microscopic dust particles up to 99.5% efficiency.
Packing & Shipment
Automated filling in big bags or retail pouches, palletized for secure container export.
Mining & Raw Material FAQ
Sourcing Insights for Procurement Managers
The Fatsa-Ünye basin in Ordu contains nearly 80% of Turkey's white bentonite deposits, which account for roughly 75% of total global reserves. The geological formations yield exceptionally pure calcium bentonite with high Montmorillonite purity and minimal iron content, giving it a natural bright white color without chemical treatment.
Our extracted bentonite features an 85% to 95% Montmorillonite ratio, belonging to the active smectite clay group. This ensures ultra-fast liquid absorption, high cation exchange capacity, and rock-hard clumping within 2 to 5 seconds.
No. The light cream to pure white appearance of our clay is 100% natural, resulting from low ferric oxide (Fe₂O₃) levels. No artificial bleaches, chemicals, or color additives are used during mining or drying.
Yes. We supply crushed, sun-dried, or kiln-dried bentonite granules in 1,000 kg – 1,250 kg big bags, bulk trucks, or full 20' and 40' ocean containers directly loaded at our Fatsa plant.
