Products or Machinery
We are manufacturers of high purity silica sand used for glass manufacturing.
We have grade 1 (SiO2 min 99.6 %) and grade 2 silica sand (SiO2 min 99.5 %)
Specifically, silica sand is made up of silicon dioxide (SiO2). The most common form of SiO2 is quartz – a chemically inert and relatively hard mineral. SiO2 grades at a 7 out of 10 on Mohs hardness scale, making it ideal for use as filtration media and abrasive blasting sands. Silica Sand is quartz that through the work of water and wind, has been broken down into tiny granules.
USES OF SILICA SAND
Glass. Silica sand is a primary component in the manufacturing of glass. It is a very important raw material for standard and special glasses.
Sports Fields and Golf Courses. On synthetic sports fields and golf courses, silica sand is used for bunkers and greens.
Calcium silicate bricks. For manufacturing calcium silicate bricks, silica sand is mixed with high calcium lime with a sand to lime ratio of 10 or 20.
Water Filtration. Silica sand is an effective filtration bed in the removal of contaminants in both processing of wastewater and in the filtration of the drinking water.
Metal Casting & Production. Silica sand is an essential part of the production of steel, ferrous and non-ferrous foundry industries for de-oxidation and grain refinement.
