Product Overview

Engineered Granules for Maximum Performance

Our granulated sepiolite is produced by crushing and screening raw ore into precisely controlled size fractions. The granulation process preserves the mineral's natural fibrous microstructure while creating uniform, free-flowing granules with exceptional absorption capacity.

Available in three standard size fractions — 0–2mm (fine), 2–4mm (medium), and 4–8mm (coarse) — each optimized for specific end-use applications. Custom size fractions can be produced upon request for clients with specialized requirements.

The low-dust formulation makes our granulated sepiolite particularly valued in the cat litter industry, where clean handling and superior odor control are essential. Agricultural clients benefit from the granules' slow-release carrier properties for fertilizers and pesticides.

Each batch undergoes rigorous quality control including sieve analysis, moisture testing, and absorption capacity measurement. Consistent quality across shipments ensures your production line runs without interruption.

Applications

Where Granulated Sepiolite Is Used

🐾

Cat Litter & Pet Care

The primary market for granulated sepiolite. Our granules offer 3x absorption of standard clay litters with natural clumping and superior odor neutralization. Preferred across European and Middle Eastern markets.

🌾

Agricultural Carriers

Used as a carrier substrate for fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides. The porous granule structure enables controlled slow-release delivery, reducing application frequency and environmental runoff.

🛢️

Industrial Absorbents

Deployed on factory floors and workshops for oil, chemical, and liquid spill cleanup. Granulated sepiolite absorbs quickly, encapsulates contaminants, and can be safely disposed or incinerated.

🏭

Animal Feed Additive

Used as an anti-caking agent and mycotoxin binder in animal feed formulations. The mineral's natural safety profile makes it ideal for livestock and poultry nutrition applications.

🧪

Water Treatment

Granulated sepiolite effectively removes heavy metals, dyes, and organic pollutants from industrial wastewater through its extensive micropore network and high surface area.

🔬

Laboratory & Filtration

Used as a filtration medium in laboratory and industrial settings. The controlled granule size enables precise flow rates and efficient separation of particulates from liquids.

Why Choose Us

Key Advantages

Custom Size Fractions

We produce granules to your exact specification — from fine 0–2mm for premium cat litter to coarse 4–8mm for industrial absorbent applications.

Minimal Dust Generation

Our advanced screening process achieves < 2% dust content, ensuring clean handling, packaging, and end-user experience.

Consistent Batch Quality

Every shipment is sieve-tested and moisture-verified. We maintain ± 5% consistency on particle size distribution across orders.

High Absorption Capacity

Granulated sepiolite absorbs ≥ 120% of its weight in liquid — outperforming bentonite, diatomite, and most synthetic absorbents.

Scalable Supply

From single containers to full vessel loads, we maintain ready stock at our facility for rapid dispatch to any global destination.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What size fractions are available for granulated sepiolite?

We offer three standard fractions: 0–2mm (fine), 2–4mm (medium), and 4–8mm (coarse). Custom fractions can be produced on request with minimum order quantities.

Is granulated sepiolite safe for use as cat litter?

Yes, sepiolite is a naturally occurring, non-toxic mineral. It is widely used in Europe as a premium cat litter due to its high absorption, natural clumping, and odor control properties.

What is the minimum order for granulated sepiolite?

Minimum order is 20 metric tons (one 20-foot container). We also accommodate larger orders in 40-foot containers or break-bulk shipments.

How does sepiolite compare to bentonite for cat litter?

Sepiolite offers higher absorption capacity (120%+ vs 80% for bentonite), lighter weight, lower dust, and better odor control. It does not swell as much when wet, making it easier to clean.

Can you produce private-label cat litter products?

We supply granulated sepiolite as a raw material in bulk. For private-label or retail packaging, we can discuss arrangements with qualified distributors.
