Silica Sand

Silica Sand is quartz that over time, through the work of water and wind, has been broken down into tiny granules. Commercial Silica Sand is widely used as a proppant by companies involved in oil and natural gas recovery in conventional and unconventional resource plays. The resource is also used in industrial processing to make everyday items such as glass, construction materials, personal care products, electronics, and even renewable materials.

Industrial sand is a term normally applied to high purity silica sand products with closely controlled sizing. It is a more precise product than common concrete and asphalt gravels. Silica (SiO2) is the name given to a group of minerals composed solely of silicon and oxygen. Found most commonly in the crystalline state, it also occurs in an amorphous form resulting from weathering or plankton fossilization.

Applications:

User of Silica Sand are spread over a very wide range of industry where functional roles of it are also varied, like Silica Sand is used as a filler in porcelain, ceramics, sanitary ware and Engineered stone industry while Silica Sand are used a lining refractories in induction furnaces, as a flux in smelting operations. Our Quartz is available in all forms from lumps, Grains & fine powder of 150,200, 250,325 & 500 BSS mesh.
