The Industrial Sand Partner for Eskisehir, Turkey's Industrial City
One of Turkey's most established industrial cities, Eskisehir is home to high value-added sectors such as aviation, defense, ceramics, machinery manufacturing and rail vehicle production. Industrial enterprises in the central districts of Odunpazarı and Tepebaşı run production processes requiring high-purity raw material supply. As Say Quartz, we supply quartz sand, silica sand and filter sand to this powerful industrial base.
Silica Sand for the Foundry and Metals Industry
The foundry industry is one of the cornerstones of Eskisehir's industrial identity. Foundry workshops in Odunpazarı district and facilities in organized industrial zones in Tepebaşı use silica sand in specific granulometries for mold making. Silica sands offered in 7 different granulometries have the purity and particle distribution to meet the precise requirements of the foundry sector.
Small-scale foundry and metalworking workshops are also found in İnönü district. Silica sand used for sandblasting and abrasive blasting operations in these facilities is a material that directly affects surface cleaning quality. Industrial investments in Alpu district also contribute to sandblasting sand demand.
Sand Needs of the Defense and Aviation Sector
Eskisehir plays a central role in Turkey's aviation and defense industries. Purity standards for silica sand used in precision casting and surface treatment processes in this sector are quite high. Say Quartz also provides solutions for such high-purity applications with its Premium White Quartz product.
Ceramics and Glass Industry
Eskisehir's deep-rooted history in ceramic production adds a distinct dimension to the city's quartz sand demand. Ceramic production facilities in Tepebaşı district use quartz sand with specific characteristics in clay body and glaze formulations. Quartz sands offered in 12 different grain sizes provide suitable raw material options for the various product groups of the ceramics sector.
Quartz sand is also used in surface treatment and polishing processes at marble and natural stone processing facilities in Sivrihisar district.
Construction Chemicals and Construction Applications
Eskisehir's continuously growing urban structure keeps construction chemicals consumption high. Construction chemicals containing quartz sand are widely used in modern housing projects in Tepebaşı and new construction near historic areas in Odunpazarı. Epoxy floor coatings are a preferred solution in commercial and industrial spaces.
Construction and maintenance activities related to military facilities in Çifteler and Mahmudiye districts feed demand for decorative plaster sand and exterior cladding materials. The use of quartz sand is also increasing in rural construction projects in Beylikova and Han districts.
Water Treatment Infrastructure
Water management in the Porsuk Stream basin is a strategic issue for Eskisehir. Quality filter sands are used in drinking water treatment facilities in the city center. Rural water treatment projects in Seyitgazi and Mihalıççık districts require filter sand for compact systems.
In Sarıcakaya district, the water needs of settlements along the Sakarya River are met through local treatment units. Agricultural irrigation filtration systems in Günyüzü and Mihalgazi districts are also among the facilities requiring regular filter sand replacement. 11 different filter sand types are offered together with complementary filter materials such as Activated Carbon and Garnet.
Rail Systems and Traction Sand
Eskisehir is the first city in Turkey to have a modern tram line. Traction sand is used on rail vehicles to improve braking performance. In the city, which also has high-speed train lines passing through it, traction sand is consumed in railway maintenance operations as well.
In winter, traction sand use against icing is common on roads — especially on mountainous passes toward Bolu and on the Mihalıççık–Sarıcakaya route. Say Quartz has the supply capacity to meet the seasonal demands of rail system operators and highway authorities.
Sports and Recreation
Artificial turf facilities and play areas are heavily used in Eskisehir, a university city. Say Quartz artificial turf infill sand is preferred for the surface fill of artificial turf facilities in Odunpazarı and Tepebaşı districts. Certified playground sand for children's play parks is a product requested by municipalities in all districts of the city.
