Sepiolite
Sepiolite, known previously as Meerschaum or Sea Froth, is a naturally occurring, non-swelling, lightweight, porous clay with a large specific surface area. The high surface area and porosity of this clay accounts for its outstanding absorption capacity for liquids. A very uncommon clay, there are only a few commercial deposits and most of them are located in Spain and, mainly in Eskişehir, Turkey.
Its properties make it a valuable material for a wide range of applications:
pet litters
animal feed additives
moisture & noise isolation
carriers for chemicals
industrial spillage absorbents
rheological additives
waste treatment
polymer biodegradable fillers
MADKIM offers Ground-Crushed-Lumpy Technical-Industrial-Cat Litter Grades of Sepiolite to international markets obtained from its own quarries located in Doğanoğlu, Eskişehir, Turkey.
