The Earth's Most
Versatile Mineral
Delivered Globally
From the rich deposits of Turkey, Sepiolite Mine supplies premium raw and processed sepiolite to industries across the world — agriculture, oil & gas, construction, environmental, and beyond.
Rooted in Earth,
Reaching the World
Sepiolite Mine is a dedicated sepiolite production and export division of Zamana, operating at the heart of Turkey's richest mineral deposits. We mine, process, and deliver the finest quality sepiolite to clients in over 50 countries.
Turkey holds the world's largest sepiolite reserves, and we are privileged stewards of those resources — committed to sustainable extraction, rigorous quality control, and customer-centric solutions.
Premium Sepiolite Products
From raw ore to precision-processed grades — our full product line is engineered to meet the exact specifications of each industry we serve.
Raw Material Raw Sepiolite Ore
Directly mined sepiolite in natural block or chunk form. Ideal for clients who process in-house. High purity, unrefined, with natural fiber structure intact.
Processed Granulated Sepiolite
Precision-sized granules for cat litter, agriculture, and industrial absorbent markets. Available in 0–2mm, 2–4mm, and 4–8mm fractions with controlled moisture.
Fine Grade Milled Sepiolite Powder
Ultra-fine micronized powder for paints, coatings, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. Controlled particle distribution from 5–200 microns with high surface area.
Oil & Gas Drilling Grade Sepiolite
API-compliant sepiolite for oil and gas drilling fluid applications. Provides stable rheology in saline and high-temperature environments where bentonite fails.
Agriculture Agricultural Sepiolite
Soil amendment and carrier grade for fertilizers, pesticides, and seed coatings. Improves soil structure, water retention, and nutrient delivery for enhanced yields.
Construction Construction & Insulation Grade
Low thermal conductivity sepiolite for insulating boards, mortars, and fireproof coatings. Enhances workability and durability in cement and lime-based products.
Where Sepiolite Transforms Industries
Our mineral's unique combination of high porosity, thermal stability, and chemical inertness makes it indispensable across more than 15 global industries.
Pet Care & Cat Litter
Superior odour control and moisture absorption. The fastest-growing application globally, with sepiolite outperforming clay competitors in clumping and hygiene.
- Clumping & non-clumping grades
- Odour neutralisation
- Low tracking, dust-free
- Custom fragrance options
Agriculture
Revolutionising soil science through superior water retention, fertiliser and pesticide carriers, and animal feed binders that improve nutrient bioavailability.
- Soil conditioner
- Fertiliser/pesticide carrier
- Seed coating binder
- Feed additive (flow agent)
Oil & Gas Drilling
The only mineral that maintains stable rheology in saturated saltwater — making it essential for offshore and high-salinity drilling operations worldwide.
- Salt-saturated mud systems
- High-temperature stability
- Spill absorption
- API 13A compliant
Construction
Thermal insulation, fire resistance, and improved workability in mortars, plasters, and concrete — delivering buildings that are safer, stronger, and more efficient.
- Insulating bricks & boards
- Lime mortar additive
- Rheology modifier
- Fireproof coatings
Environmental Remediation
A natural solution to pollution. Sepiolite's unparalleled adsorption capacity makes it ideal for wastewater treatment, heavy metal sequestration, and oil spill response.
- Wastewater treatment
- Heavy metal removal
- Oil spill cleanup
- Air purification media
Paints & Coatings
Acts as a rheology modifier, anti-sagging agent, and matting agent in water-based and solvent-borne paints — improving texture without compromising opacity.
- Anti-settling agent
- Thixotropic additive
- Matting effect
- Improved brushability
Catalysis & Chemical
High surface area and thermal stability make sepiolite an outstanding catalyst support for hydrogenation, dehydrogenation, and oxidation reactions.
- Catalyst carrier
- Zeolite substitute
- High-temp. reactions
- Selectivity enhancement
Pharma & Cosmetics
GRAS-listed and biocompatible, sepiolite serves as an excipient, thickener, and carrier in pharmaceutical formulations, face masks, and personal care products.
- Tablet excipient
- Cosmetic thickener
- Facial mask filler
- Drug delivery carrier
Bioplastics (Emerging)
As sustainability drives innovation, sepiolite nano-fibres reinforce biodegradable polymers, improving mechanical strength while maintaining compostability.
- PLA / PHA reinforcement
- Nano-filler
- Compostable-compatible
- Barrier improvement
A Partner You Can
Build Your Supply Chain On
We don't just sell mineral — we deliver certainty. Our vertically integrated operation, from mine face to freight-on-board, ensures quality, consistency, and on-time delivery every time.
We own and operate our mines, processing facilities, and quality labs. No middlemen — full traceability from ore to shipment.
Need a specific moisture level, particle size, or blend? Our R&D team works with you to develop bespoke grades at commercial scale.
ISO 9001, REACH compliant, FDA-listed grades available. Full certificate of analysis with every shipment, no exceptions.
Containerised, bulk vessel, and big-bag shipments to any port. Our logistics team manages customs, documentation, and last-mile if needed.
Mining the Earth,
Protecting It Too
At Sepiolite Mine, sustainability is not a marketing claim — it is embedded in how we design our mines, manage our tailings, and restore the land we temporarily borrow.
Land Restoration
Every active mine site has a binding closure and rehabilitation plan. We replant native vegetation and monitor soil health for 5 years post-extraction.
Water Management
Zero-discharge water circuits. Process water is fully recycled. No mineral waste reaches local water bodies — monitored by third-party auditors quarterly.
Energy Transition
30% of our facility energy comes from on-site solar. We are committed to carbon-neutral operations by 2035, with roadmap milestones published annually.
Community & Safety
Zero Lost Time Incidents in the last 4 years. We invest in local employment, vocational training, and school infrastructure in all communities near our sites.
