SILICA SAND

SiO₂ • High Purity • Industrial Raw Material

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

Quartz Silica Sand

High-purity crystalline silica

Used in glass manufacturing and semiconductor applications with tight impurity control.

River / Natural Silica Sand

Naturally deposited

Applied in construction and filtration after grading and washing.

Washed Silica Sand

Cleaned & de-silted

Processed to remove clay, silt, and organics for consistent industrial performance.

Frac Sand

High-strength proppant

Precisely sized, round-grain silica used in hydraulic fracturing to keep fractures open.

Colored / Coated Sand

Specialty finishes

Pigmented or resin-coated for decorative surfaces or specialized casting/filtration.

USES OF SILICA SAND

Glass Industry

Flat/container glass, fiberglass, and specialty optics.

Foundry Applications

Molding & core sands for dimensional stability.

Construction

Concrete, mortar, flooring compounds, engineered stone.

Oil & Gas (Frac)

Round, crush-resistant proppant for sustained flow.

Water Filtration

Graded media for potable & wastewater treatment.

Ceramics & Coatings

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.
