Supplying foundational industrial minerals & raw materials vital for construction and manufacturing.

The Versatile Clay for Viscosity and Sealing

Bentonite is a highly versatile clay composed predominantly of montmorillonite, prized across numerous industries for its exceptional swelling capacity and unique thixotropic properties. Its primary application is in oil and gas drilling, where it acts as a crucial viscosifier and stabilizer in drilling mud, suspending cuttings and cooling the drill bit. Beyond the energy sector, Bentonite is indispensable in civil engineering for creating impermeable barriers and slurry walls, and in geotechnical applications for sealing and stabilization.

Tailored Grades for Foundry and Industrial Needs

The utility of Bentonite extends to specialized manufacturing processes, notably in foundries where the material is used as a highly effective binder for molding sand, ensuring the necessary strength and stability for casting complex metal parts. Raykan Co. supplies various commercial grades, including the highly swelling Sodium Bentonite for drilling and the often used Calcium Bentonite for absorption and binding applications. We guarantee the supply of verified material that meets the stringent requirements for moisture absorption and binding strength required by clients.

Secure Bulk Supply for Global Projects

Given its broad use in large-scale, time-sensitive projects like drilling campaigns and civil construction, a reliable supply of dry, consistent Bentonite is critical. Raykan Co. manages the secure bulk distribution of this material, ensuring it is efficiently packaged in sacks or Big Bags (FIBCs) and protected from moisture during international transport. Leveraging our strong logistics network, we guarantee timely delivery of high-volume consignments to remote project sites and manufacturing hubs worldwide, positioning Raykan as a dependable supply partner.

Trade & Logistics FAQs

How do you ensure the quality and origin of the supplied materials?2025-10-20T16:04:21+00:00

Quality is guaranteed through mandatory third-party inspections (such as SGS or Intertek) at the loading port. All shipments are supplied with certified Certificates of Analysis (COA) and Certificates of Origin to verify material specs.

What is the Minimum Order Quantity for bulk commodities?2025-10-20T16:05:40+00:00

Our focus is on large-scale international trade. MOQs typically begin at Full Container Load (FCL)—approx. 20 metric tons—or bulk vessel cargo, depending on the specific commodity (e.g., metals require larger volumes than some chemicals).

What Incoterms do you primarily work with, and where can you deliver?2025-10-21T07:41:02+00:00

We regularly work with FOB (Free On Board) and CFR/CIF (Cost and Freight/Insurance) terms. Leveraging our Global hub, we manage global delivery via reliable road, rail, and sea networks, tailored to your destination and product requirements.

What payment terms and financial instruments do you accept?2025-10-20T16:04:58+00:00

We primarily operate using secure financial instruments like Letter of Credit (LC) at sight or deferred payment LC, which provides security for both parties. We also accept TT (Telegraphic Transfer), subject to contract terms and credit approval.
