Lecture by Nikos Lygeros on the topic: ‘New findings on Greek zeolite’. Xenideio Cultural Centre, Aridaia, Wednesday 20 July 2016
Author: Zeolife.gr
Our company is engaged in the implementation and sale of certified natural zeolite of European origin and Greek aluminous diatomite. The zeolite content in clinoptilolite for agricultural and livestock use is at least 85% and is available in various granulometries depending on its use. Our goal is to spread the innumerable applications of these natural inert minerals, resulting in the immediate benefit of their properties in areas such as agriculture, livestock farming, the environment and human health. We ship the same day across Greece and the rest of Europe from our warehouse in Thessaloniki and Nea Orestiada. We offer wholesale and retail prices.

There can be no development without entrepreneurship – N. Lygeros
No matter how much we hear about a ‘Stalinist’ approach to economic data, we already know full well that these figures are collapsing and that they are worthless, not only in Greece but throughout the world. Russia itself has realised this, but in our country there are people who are out of touch at every…

From the extraction of zeolite to the development of Thrace – N. Lygeros
With the start of Greek zeolite mining in the Kokkalo area near Petrota, Thrace is ushering in a new era of development.

Straw, hay and innovation – N. Lygeros
Someone who is not an expert might think that straw and hay are simply dry grass. However, if one understands the difference that zeolite makes to quality, then even these products take on exceptional value. Thus, in a single field, we can grow as many as forty different varieties without any further intervention when we…

Zeolites with an absorbent-catalytic effect on formaldehyde in wood-based materials
More than 85 percent of all wood-based materials are manufactured using adhesives containing formaldehyde. Increasingly strict regulations concerning these emissions have been creating major challenges for adhesive manufacturers and the wood-based product industry since the 1970s. The primary objective of the project was to considerably reduce the formaldehyde emissions from wood-based products by adding small…
