Silica Sand
Silica sand, also known as industrial sand, is a high-purity quartz (silicon dioxide, SiO₂) sand with specific physical and chemical properties. It is primarily composed of fine, crystalline silica grains.
- Silica sand is added to paints and coatings to create textured surfaces and improve the overall durability of the paint.
- Used in the production of refractory bricks and other materials that must withstand high temperatures.
- Silica sand is used as a filler to enhance the durability and strength of rubber products, such as tires and industrial rubber components.
- Used in the production of bottles and jars due to its high silica content which ensures clarity and strength.
- Silica sand is a vital component in the production of concrete and mortar. It provides strength and durability to the mixture.
- Silica sand is used in sandblasting to clean and prepare surfaces by removing rust, paint, and other coatings.
