Silica Sand

Micronized Silica Sand is quartz that over time, through the work of water and wind, has been broken down into tiny granules. Industrial sand is a term normally applied to high purity silica sand products with closely controlled sizing. It is a more precise product than common concrete and asphalt gravels.

It is also known as White sand, Quartz sand and Industrial sand, that comes with a wide range of shades, mostly white or colourless. The colour of the sand depends chiefly on the rock detritus and a variety of minerals that make up the resource.

It is obtained by the quartz materials from the sources like beach dunes and processes them into different types and grades of sand, and then supplied to different industries for various applications.

Silica sand possesses some criteria that it must contain, at least 95% silicon dioxide and equal to 0.6 % iron oxide, if not it is considered as regular sand.
