Yinovia Minerals’ natural barite offers excellent density (4.2–4.4 g/cm³) and chemical inertness, covering a wide range of applications from oil & gas drillinplastics and radiation-shielding concrete.With BaSO₄ purity of 90–98%, the product is available in three grades: Drilling Class, Micronised Class and High-Purity White. Shipments are made from the ports of Mersin and Iskenderun.
Distinguished by its fine lamellar structure, high whiteness and very low abrasiveness, sericite is a versatile mineral used in cosmetic powders, eyeshadows and foundation formulations as well as industrial paints, ceramics, porcelain and polymer additives. With SiO₂ (45–55%), Al₂O₃ (20–26%) and K₂O (6–8%), it delivers outstanding chemical stability. Available in 25–50 kg bags, big bags or bulk from the ports of Mersin, Izmir and Gemlik.
Quarried from the volcanic regions of Central Anatolia, pumice stands out for its lightweight structure with a dry bulk density of 380–600 kg/m³ and low thermaK). It is used as lightweight concrete aggregate, in road construction and thermal ctor; as a plant-growing substrate and greenroof medium in horticulture; and as a filter medium in cement and chemicals. Largely freed from clay and impurities, and with lower moisture content than washed alternatives, our pumice eliminates costly washing processes. Bulk shipments from Iskenderun and Yumurtalık ports.
Sourced from Turkish volcanic glass deposexceptional thermal and acoustic insulation with a bulk density of 30–150 kg/m³. Chemica-combustible, it is widely used inlightweight concrete blocks, insulation panels and mortars; soilless growing media and substrate blends; food and chemical industry filtration; and cryogenic insulation.
