How quickly can you deliver silica sand in Istanbul?

Our Çatalca plant is inside the Istanbul city limits, so shipments of stocked fractions can be scheduled quickly. For custom fractions and large tonnages the lead time depends on the production schedule; we confirm a firm date before the order.

Do you deliver to both sides of Istanbul?

Yes. From our Çatalca base the European side is the shorter run, and we serve the Anatolian side with planned vehicle scheduling. Delivery to the construction site or the factory is possible by truck or silo tanker.

What packaging options are available?

We ship in big bags (1000-1500 kg), 25 kg bags, silo tankers and in bulk by truck. Construction chemicals and precast producers usually prefer big bags or silo tankers, while smaller users choose 25 kg bags.

Which products are processed at the Istanbul plant?

Washing, drying and screening of silica sand take place at our Çatalca plant, producing filter sand, construction chemicals sand, epoxy and precast sand in controlled gradings. Micronized quartz is produced at our Ergene/Tekirdağ plant.

Can I request a sample?

Yes. Tell us the fraction and the application and we will send a sample. You can also download the technical data sheet (TDS) from the fraction cards on the product pages.

How is the price determined?

Price depends on the fraction, purity level, packaging type, tonnage and delivery point. Share your requirement (product, fraction, tonnage, delivery district) and we will prepare a tailored quotation.

Silica Sand Supplier in Istanbul | Çatalca Plant

Silica Sand Supply in Istanbul

Istanbul is where Turkey's construction, construction chemicals, water treatment and industrial production are most densely concentrated. That density creates a need for regular, certified and on-time supply of core raw materials such as silica sand and quartz. At Seyman Maden we serve the Istanbul market from our own plant in Çatalca.

Our Çatalca Plant: Shipping from Inside the City

Our silica sand plant is located in Çatalca, Istanbul. For a buyer in Istanbul this makes a practical difference: the material does not travel from another province, it leaves from within the city limits. The haul is shorter, the delivery date becomes predictable, and freight takes up a smaller share of the total cost.

At the plant the raw material goes through washing, fluid-bed drying and screening; every batch is checked in the laboratory before shipment. Our filter products are manufactured in accordance with TS EN 12904.

Which Sectors in Istanbul Use Silica Sand?

The city's production profile also determines which fractions are in demand:

Construction chemicals: dry sand in controlled gradings for ready-mixed plaster, repair mortar, self-levelling screed and joint filler.
Precast and GRC: clean, low-moisture fractions for surface quality and strength.
Water treatment: TS EN 12904 certified filter sand and gravel for drinking water and swimming pool filters.
Epoxy and decorative flooring: epoxy sand for car parks, factories and showrooms.
Blasting: surface preparation in shipyards, steel fabrication and maintenance work.
Sports and landscaping: artificial turf, beach volleyball and children's play area applications.

Products We Supply to Istanbul

Silica Sand — a wide range of fractions and AFS values
Filter Sand and Filter Gravel — TS EN 12904 certified
Granular Quartz — construction chemicals and filler applications
Micronized Quartz — paint, resin and coating industries

Shipping, Packaging and Lead Time

We ship in big bags (1000-1500 kg), 25 kg bags, silo tankers and in bulk by truck. Stocked fractions can be scheduled quickly; for custom fractions or high tonnages the date is set according to the production schedule. Site and factory delivery are both possible.

Why Is Local Supply an Advantage?

Relative to its unit price, silica sand is a bulky and heavy material, which makes freight a decisive cost item. Sourcing from a distant production point raises the cost and makes the delivery date less certain. Having the production point close to the market is a direct operational advantage for manufacturers who need regular shipments.

We also extract the raw material from our own quarry and process it in our own plants, so the supply chain is short: no intermediaries, and batch consistency and technical support come straight from the producer.
