Growth Segment

Sepiolite has revolutionised the pet care industry, becoming the preferred mineral for premium cat litter worldwide. Its exceptional microporous structure absorbs up to 150% of its weight in moisture while neutralising ammonia and bacterial odours naturally — without chemicals or fragrances.

Why Sepiolite for Pet Care & Cat Litter

💧

Superior Absorption

Sepiolite's unique fibrous crystal structure creates millions of microscopic channels that trap and lock moisture instantly. Each granule absorbs up to 150% of its weight — significantly outperforming traditional bentonite clay — keeping the litter box drier for longer periods between changes.

🌿

Natural Odour Control

Unlike chemical deodorizers that merely mask smells, sepiolite physically adsorbs ammonia molecules and volatile organic compounds within its pore network. The result is genuine odour elimination that lasts days, not hours, creating a fresher environment for both pets and owners.

Low Dust & Tracking

Our granulated sepiolite undergoes a proprietary screening process that eliminates fine particles, producing a virtually dust-free litter. The optimised granule shape also minimises tracking outside the box — a top complaint among cat owners with traditional clay products.

⚖️

Lightweight Convenience

Sepiolite litter weighs approximately 40% less than equivalent bentonite products. This makes it easier for consumers to carry, pour, and manage — a significant competitive advantage on retail shelves where convenience drives purchasing decisions.

🔄

Available in Both Clumping & Non-Clumping

We supply sepiolite in both clumping and non-clumping formulations. Clumping grades use our proprietary granulation technique to form tight, scoopable clumps on contact, while non-clumping grades offer superior absorption per fill for value-conscious consumers.

🏷️

Custom Branding & Private Label

We offer white-label and private-label programmes with custom granule sizes (0–2mm, 2–4mm, 4–8mm), scented and unscented options, and packaging from 5L bags to 20L boxes. Our technical team works with your product development team to create the perfect formulation.

From Mine to Your Application

01

Mining & Selection

Raw sepiolite ore is extracted from our mines in central Turkey and sorted by grade. Only the highest-purity seams are selected for pet care applications.

02

Crushing & Granulation

The ore is crushed, dried, and granulated to precise size fractions. Our proprietary process creates uniform granules with maximum porosity.

03

Screening & De-Dusting

Multi-stage vibrating screens remove fines and oversized particles. Dedicated de-dusting cyclones ensure less than 0.5% airborne dust content.

04

Quality Testing

Every batch is tested for absorption capacity, moisture content, granule distribution, pH level, and dust index. Only batches meeting all specifications are released.

05

Packaging & Shipping

Finished litter is packaged in 5L, 10L, or 20L consumer bags, or 1-tonne big bags for industrial buyers. Shipped FOB Port of Mersin or Samsun Port.

Frequently Asked Questions

Absolutely. Sepiolite is a naturally occurring mineral that is non-toxic, non-swelling, and chemically inert. It contains no silica dust, clumping chemicals, or fragrances unless specifically added. It is safe for kittens, adult cats, and multi-cat households.

Sepiolite absorbs more moisture per gram, weighs 40% less, produces significantly less dust, and provides superior long-term odour control. While bentonite forms harder clumps, sepiolite's softer clumps are gentler on paws and easier to scoop.

Yes. We offer lavender, baby powder, fresh linen, and custom fragrance options. Scent is applied during the final coating stage and designed to activate on contact with moisture, providing a pleasant experience without overwhelming the cat's sensitive nose.

For private-label consumer packaging, the minimum order is typically one 20-foot container (~18 tonnes). For bulk big bags, we can accommodate smaller trial orders of 5–10 tonnes. Contact our sales team for details.
