PRODUCT SELECTION
Different applications require different particle sizes, processing and performance characteristics. Lonestar can supply standard commercial grades, API-grade bentonite and material based on your required specification.
COARSER PARTICLE SIZE
A coarser sodium bentonite option for applications where controlled placement, slower hydration or larger particles are preferred.
FINE & BLENDED PARTICLE SIZES
Fine or blended particle-size sodium bentonite for applications requiring more uniform distribution, faster hydration or incorporation into other materials.
TECHNICAL / DRILLING GRADE
API-grade sodium bentonite for drilling-fluid and technical applications that require defined performance characteristics. Confirm the required API specification and project requirements with the quote.
If your application requires a specific particle size, mesh range, moisture limit, performance characteristic or other technical requirement, send us the specification with your RFQ. We will confirm the appropriate material, packaging and shipping origin before quoting.

NEED LANDED PRICING?
Provide the grade, volume and destination so material and freight can be quoted together.
SHIPPING & RECEIVING
A full-truckload order requires a receiving plan as well as the right material. Lonestar can coordinate nationwide freight, work with your carrier, or prepare pickup details based on the product, packaging and shipping origin.
FROM RFQ TO LOADING
Industrial bentonite orders move faster when product requirements and logistics are reviewed together. Our quote process is designed to reduce back-and-forth before the material is scheduled.
We review your application, required grade or specification, particle size, packaging and quantity.
Once we know what you need, we prepare a quote with the material, packaging, quantity and shipping option.
After the order is approved, loading, pickup or delivery timing is coordinated with the receiving contact, carrier and warehouse or shipping point.
PROCUREMENT & TECHNICAL REVIEW
Commercial buyers often need more than a price per pound. Tell us what documentation is required for purchasing, quality or technical review so it can be matched to the quoted grade.
MAKE THE RFQ QUOTE-READY
Send the specification, expected volume, packaging preference and required date. We’ll review it before quoting.
