Raw Material Supply to the Historic City on the Syrian Border
Kilis, the smallest province of Southeastern Anatolia, is situated in a strategic location on the Syrian border. Its agriculture-based economy, its tradition of olive oil production, and recent urban transformation investments shape the raw material profile of this small but dynamic province. Say Quartz contributes to the construction and infrastructure needs of the region by supplying quartz sand, silica sand, and filter sand to all districts of Kilis from its production facility in Corlu/Tekirdag.
Urban Transformation and Building Chemicals
Urban transformation projects carried out in central Kilis generate continuous demand for construction chemical raw materials. The renewal of the old building stock, the construction of new residential areas, and the modernization of public buildings are processes in which quartz sand is heavily used. Say Quartz's quartz sands in 12 different grain sizes are preferred in the formulation of grout compounds, plaster, screed, and exterior facade coating products.
The renewal of agricultural structures in Elbeyli district and rural housing projects in Musabeyli also require similar raw materials. Molding sand is a product that gives buildings both visual richness and resistance to climatic conditions in exterior facade applications. Building chemicals are also regularly used in the maintenance and repair of public buildings in Polateli district.
Epoxy and Floor Coating Applications
Epoxy floor coating systems are becoming increasingly widespread in commercial spaces and food processing facilities in central Kilis. Food sector businesses, particularly olive oil production facilities, require hygienic and easy-to-clean floor surfaces. Say Quartz's specially graded epoxy aggregates create smooth and long-lasting floors in such applications.
Drinking Water and Agricultural Irrigation Filtration
Kilis's hot and arid climate makes the efficient use and treatment of water resources essential. Municipal water treatment plants in the central district require quality filter sands to provide safe drinking water. Say Quartz's filter sands, offered in 11 different types, provide high efficiency and long-lasting performance in filtration units.
Kilis's potential in olive growing and agricultural production also brings irrigation water filtration processes to the fore. Irrigation systems used in agricultural areas around Elbeyli and Polateli require the preservation of water quality. Say Quartz's complementary filter products such as Hydroanthracite and Activated Carbon offer effective results in multi-stage treatment systems. Clean water access in Musabeyli district is also one of the priority agenda items of municipal infrastructure investments.
Sandblasting and Industrial Applications
Small-scale manufacturing workshops and metal processing facilities in Kilis require sandblasting sand for surface preparation processes. Sandblasting and surface preparation operations are regularly carried out in areas such as iron door and window manufacturing, steel construction, and agricultural machinery maintenance. Say Quartz sandblasting sands deliver effective cleaning and smooth surface preparation in these processes. Similar applications are also carried out at agricultural equipment maintenance workshops in Elbeyli and Polateli.
Silica sands are another raw material used in certain branches of the manufacturing sector in Kilis. Say Quartz's silica sands, offered in 7 different granulometries, are preferred in molding and casting operations.
Sports Facilities and Public Space Arrangements
Artificial turf field facilities in Kilis are among the most popular sports areas among the local population. Artificial turf field operators in the central district use round-grain, skin-friendly artificial turf sand as surface infill. Say Quartz's products in this area are produced to standards that prioritize athlete health and surface performance.
Playground sands suitable for children's health are also among the preferred materials in municipalities' park and recreational area projects. Hygienic and safe sands in public space arrangements in all district centers, including Musabeyli, are elements that enhance quality of life.
