How Much Does Sodium Bentonite Cost?
Sodium bentonite clay is the preferred material for projects requiring pond sealant as well as well plugging. There are several reasons for this, including that it is non-toxic and will not cause harm to wildlife or introduce hazardous materials to local groundwater and aquifers. Another major reason people prefer this material is simply that the cost of bentonite is highly affordable.

Bentonite Costs and Supplies
While sodium bentonite cost is typically affordable, the pricing is affected by several different factors. From shipping to quantity and the type of bentonite needed, your final cost will depend on the situation. For those with larger projects, buying in bulk is usually the smartest option because it is considerably cheaper per unit. On the other hand, if your project is relatively small, buying in bulk may not make sense, as you would be likely to have a lot of excess material left over.
While it is difficult to give an exact estimate on the cost of bentonite without an understanding of the specific project it is for, here are some guidelines to help you plan a preliminary budget:
- Truckload – When bentonite is purchased by the full truckload (22.5 tons), customers can expect somewhere in the ballpark of $90-$100/ton, plus freight charges. Large load orders like this are shipped on pallets in 3,000lb super sack bags.
- Large load – For medium sized projects, 2500lb super sack bags can be ordered from our warehouse near Austin, TX. The pricing for these bags runs approximately $300 per bag.
- Small load – For small projects, customers can pick up 50lb bags of our granular sodium bentonite from our warehouse. Pricing for these bags tends to run about $8 per bag.
While the prices above are approximate bentonite costs, we always aim to give our customers competitive pricing. The final cost of bentonite depends on different factors, such as market demand as well as the addition of freight and shipping. Call or contact us online today to request a quote for your project.
