What is Silica Sand?
Silica Sand, also known as quartz sand, is composed primarily of silicon dioxide (SiO₂) in the
form of quartz grains. It is one of the most abundant minerals on Earth, valued for its high
chemical purity, hardness, and resistance to heat and chemical reactions. These
characteristics make it indispensable in several high-performance industrial applications.
Industrial Applications of Silica Sand:
1. Glass Manufacturing.
~Silica Sand is the chief component in the production of clear and coloured glass, including flat
glass for windows, bottles, containers, and fiberglass. High-purity quartz with low iron content
ensures excellent transparency and strength in glass products.
2. Foundry Casting
~Used as a molding base in metal casting, Silica Sand provides thermal stability, flowability,
and dimensional accuracy—essential for producing precision cast components in steel,
aluminium, and iron industries.
3. Construction Industry.
~Silica Sand is a key ingredient in cement, mortar, concrete, and asphalt. It improves
workability, durability, and strength in construction materials. It is also widely used as fill sand,
decorative sand, and sandblasting material.
4. Water Filtration.
~Our Silica Sand is specially graded for use in water filtration plants, both industrial and
municipal. It acts as a natural filter medium, removing suspended particles and ensuring clean,
safe drinking water.
5. Oil & Gas Fracking.
~Silica Sand is used as a proppant in hydraulic fracturing operations. Its strength and sphericity help keep fractures open, allowing for efficient oil and gas recovery from deep underground
reserves.
6. Ceramics & Refractories.
~Due to its high melting point, Silica Sand is used in manufacturing ceramics, glazes, and
refractory bricks that withstand high temperatures in kilns and furnaces.
7. Chemical Production.
~Silica is a core raw material in the chemical industry for producing silicon compounds,
silicates, and silicones, widely used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and electronics.
