Industrial Raw Materials for the Iron and Steel Capital
When Karabuk comes to mind, the first sector that stands out is iron and steel production. This province, which hosted one of the first heavy industry investments in the history of the Republic, has a deep-rooted tradition in metal casting, steel processing, and the mining sector. Iron and steel facilities and related industrial enterprises in the central district require continuous access to high-purity raw materials. Say Quartz contributes to this industrial tradition by supplying silica sand, quartz sand, and filter sand to all districts of Karabuk from its production facility in Corlu/Tekirdag.
Silica Sands for the Iron-Steel and Foundry Sector
The iron and steel facilities in central Karabuk hold a significant share of Turkey's steel production capacity. Casting molds used in these facilities require high-purity silica sand. Say Quartz's silica sands, produced in 7 different granulometries, ensure superior surface quality and dimensional precision in casting processes. Mold preparation, core production, and refractory material manufacturing are among the areas where silica sand is consumed most intensively.
Mining operations and metal processing workshops in Eskipazar district also use silica sand at various stages of production. These facilities, positioned as part of the iron and steel sector's supply chain, can regularly source from Say Quartz's wide product range.
Sandblasting and Surface Preparation Operations
Sandblasting operations are an unavoidable stage in steel construction manufacturing, pipe production, and profile processing. Sandblasting and surface preparation operations carried out at industrial facilities in central Karabuk and its surroundings play a critical role in removing corrosion from steel surfaces and preparing them for painting. Say Quartz sandblasting sands deliver efficient cleaning and smooth surface preparation in these processes, contributing to production quality.
Safranbolu: Tourism and Restoration
Known for its historic fabric on the UNESCO World Heritage List, Safranbolu is the strongest district of Karabuk in terms of the tourism sector. The restoration of historic mansions, boutique hotel conversions, and new tourism infrastructure projects create demand for specialized building materials. Molding sand can be used in exterior facade applications of historic buildings in a way that preserves the original texture. Epoxy floor coating systems offer both aesthetic and durable solutions for hotel and restaurant floors.
Playground sand is among the preferred materials for creating child-friendly public spaces in park and garden arrangements in Safranbolu. Say Quartz's hygienic and soft-textured playground sands are used with confidence in municipal projects.
Construction Chemicals and Construction
Ongoing construction activities throughout Karabuk make the demand for quartz sand continuous. Housing projects in the central district, and public investments in Eskipazar and Yenice, regularly consume quartz sand — the raw material for construction chemicals production. Say Quartz's quartz sands in 12 different grain sizes are used in the formulation of grout, plaster, screed, and exterior facade coating materials.
Construction chemicals are also used in housing construction and maintenance work in rural districts such as Eflani and Ovacık. The raw material supply for construction projects in these districts can be met by Say Quartz's flexible shipping structure.
Drinking Water Treatment and Filter Sands
Karabuk is located in the forested geography of the Western Black Sea and is a province rich in water resources. However, the intensity of industrial activities requires that drinking water and industrial water treatment processes be carried out with great care. Municipal water treatment plants in the central district can benefit from Say Quartz's filter sands, offered in 11 different types.
Yenice district is known for its natural beauty in the Filyos Stream basin, and the preservation of water quality is of vital importance to the region. In the settlements of Ovacık's mountainous terrain, clean water access is provided through small-scale treatment facilities. Say Quartz's complementary filter products such as Hydroanthracite, Activated Carbon, and Calcite offer multi-layer filtration solutions in these facilities.
