Silica

Quartz is a hard, crystalline mineral composed of silica. The atoms are linked in a continuous framework of SiO4 silicon–oxygen tetrahedra, with each oxygen being shared between two tetrahedra, giving an overall chemical formula of SiO2. Quartz is the second most abundant mineral in Earth's continental crust.

It is hard, brittle, transparent material with a density of 2649 kg/m3 and a melting point of 1432C. This naturally available quartz is mined by the company and processed for achieving the various size fractions as per customer’s requirements.

Once the high purity Quartz is procured from the mines, the material undergoes manual sorting, advanced colour sorting, state- of the- art magnet systems, proper sizing with high frequency vibrations to achieve the best material.

Application industries:

Silica Sand is one of the common varieties of sand in the world. This is widely used in different industrial processes for making glass, moulds and castings. It is utilized in different ways like glass manufacturing, industrial casting, water filtration, sand blasting, concrete, etc.

Usages of Silica Sand:

1) Utilized in different industrial sectors such as personal care products, glass, construction materials, electronics, etc.

2) Used for equestrian surfaces, golf course root zones, artificial turf, etc.

3) Used for disodium ultramarine, water purification, synthetic foundry moulding catalysts, etc.

4) Used in the development of refractory, acid heat resistant ceramics, pottery glaze, enamel and many more.
