Say Quartz Quality in Gaziantep, Turkey's Industrial Giant
Gaziantep is Turkey's sixth-largest city and one of the country's most important industrial centers in terms of export volume. Its broad production spectrum — stretching from textiles and food to plastics and metal processing — makes the city one of the provinces with the highest consumption of industrial raw materials. The large organized industrial zones in Şahinbey and Şehitkâmil districts deliver output figures comparable to European scale in terms of daily production volume.
As Say Quartz, we supply quartz sand, silica sand and filter sand to this powerful industrial infrastructure in Gaziantep from our facilities in Çorlu/Tekirdağ. Our daily production capacity of 5,000 tonnes makes it possible to fulfill the high-volume orders typical of a city like Gaziantep.
Foundry Industry and Silica Sand
Gaziantep's strong foundry and metal processing industry is one of the largest consumers of high-quality silica sand. Numerous foundry facilities operate in the organized industrial zone in Şahinbey district, and silica sand is an indispensable raw material in the mold making and surface treatment processes of these facilities.
Silica sands offered in 7 different granulometries meet the precise particle distribution and purity standards of Gaziantep's foundry sector. Silica sand is also heavily used for sandblasting and abrasive blasting applications in machinery manufacturing facilities in Şehitkâmil district.
Industrial Facilities in Nizip and İslahiye
Nizip district is a production center known not only for its olive and olive oil sector but also for metal processing and small industrial activities. Sandblasting needs in these facilities are met with silica sand. In İslahiye district, sandblasting sand is preferred for metal surface cleaning in workshops at industrial sites.
Construction Chemicals and Quartz Sand
Gaziantep's rapid urbanization process has made the construction chemicals sector one of the city's most dynamic areas. Large housing projects ongoing in Şahinbey and Şehitkâmil districts demand quartz sand for exterior cladding, grout fill, floor screed and decorative applications.
The quartz sand range offered in 12 different grain sizes provides options suitable for the various formulations of construction chemicals producers in Gaziantep. Epoxy floor coating applications are a gradually more widespread preference in the city's industrial facilities and commercial spaces. Decorative plaster sand is used for exterior cladding details in housing projects.
Demand for construction chemicals has increased in Nurdağı district as part of post-earthquake reconstruction works. Quartz sand-containing materials are also preferred in rural construction projects in Araban and Yavuzeli districts.
Industrial Water Treatment and Filter Sand
Gaziantep's intensive industrial production generates large volumes of industrial wastewater. Filter sand is one of the key components of the treatment process in central wastewater treatment facilities at organized industrial zones. Filter sands produced in 11 different types are used at different stages of industrial treatment facilities.
The city's drinking water treatment infrastructure is also a significant source of filter sand demand. Filtration units in agricultural irrigation systems in Oğuzeli and Karkamış districts require regular sand replacement. Complementary filter products such as Hydroanthracite, Activated Carbon and Garnet are also available in the Say Quartz portfolio.
Sports Facilities and Artificial Turf Sand
Gaziantep's young and dynamic population keeps demand for sports facilities high. Hundreds of artificial turf facilities are located in Şahinbey and Şehitkâmil districts, and the surface performance of these facilities depends on quality artificial turf infill sand. Artificial turf investments are also increasing in Nizip, İslahiye and Nurdağı districts.
Certified playground sand is used in municipal parks and residential complex gardens for children's play areas. Say Quartz produces these products in compliance with safety and hygiene standards.
Transportation and Traction Sand
Gaziantep's extensive road network and the risk of icing — particularly on the Nurdağı pass in winter months — make traction sand use necessary. The mountainous areas on the İslahiye–Nurdağı route and roads in the direction of Yavuzeli–Araban require seasonal traction sand stockpiling.
