Sodium bentonite (spherical)0.85–1.05 g/cm³; 0.95 kg/L referenceFactory TDS (tapped method on spec table)
Tofu (pea fiber)597 g/L ≈ 0.597 kg/LCTI third-party batch report
Cassava (yuca)600–650 g/L ≈ 0.60–0.65 kg/LFactory TDS
Silica gel crystal≈ 0.75 kg/LFactory TDS reference
How the estimate works: a 20GP container is modeled with a ~21.8 t payload ceiling and ~27 m³ of usable volume after pallets; a 40HQ with ~26.5 t and ~65 m³. The calculator takes the lower of the weight-limited and volume-limited bag count. Real loading depends on bag dimensions, pallet configuration, carton strength and port road-weight limits — always run a loading test for your exact pack before quoting freight.

Why this matters: freight is paid per container, so the number of bags you actually fit decides your per-bag freight cost. Bentonite is weight-limited (the box is not full when the weight cap is hit), while tofu and cassava are volume-limited (the box fills before the weight cap). The full explanation is in our bulk density guide and the liters vs kilograms explainer.
