SILICA SAND
Silica Sand (SiO₂) is composed of finely divided quartz grains. Its purity, grain size, and chemical stability make it indispensable in glass, semiconductors, construction, filtration, foundries, ceramics, and coatings.

TYPES OF SILICA SAND
High-purity crystalline silica
Used in glass manufacturing and semiconductor applications with tight impurity control.
Naturally deposited
Applied in construction and filtration after grading and washing.
Cleaned & de-silted
Processed to remove clay, silt, and organics for consistent industrial performance.
High-strength proppant
Precisely sized, round-grain silica used in hydraulic fracturing to keep fractures open.
Specialty finishes
Pigmented or resin-coated for decorative surfaces or specialized casting/filtration.
USES OF SILICA SAND
Flat/container glass, fiberglass, and specialty optics.
Molding & core sands for dimensional stability.
Concrete, mortar, flooring compounds, engineered stone.
Round, crush-resistant proppant for sustained flow.
Graded media for potable & wastewater treatment.
Glazes, tiles, refractories; boosts hardness & brightness in paints.
GRADES OF SILICA SAND
Glass Grade
≥99% SiO₂; ultra-low impurities for flat/container glass and optical uses.
Foundry Grade
95–98% SiO₂; tight sizing & thermal stability for molding/core sands.
Construction Grade
90–95% SiO₂; cost-optimized for concrete, mortar & building materials.
Filtration Grade
95–98% SiO₂; graded media for rapid sand filters & multimedia beds.
Ceramic Grade
98–99% SiO₂; for tiles, sanitaryware, and refractory compositions.
