We are supplier and exporter of Silica Sand. Silica Sand * Silica Sand is a type of sand usually available in the form of quartz. It is a hard and crystalline form of mineral components. * Silica sand is the most abundant mineral with the purity more than 99.0%. It is the preferred choice of consumption for various industrial purposes.
Silica sand is a primary component in the manufacturing of glass. It is a very important raw material for standard and special glasses. The chemical purity of silica sand is the principal determinant of strength, colour and clarity. It is used to produce flat glass for building and automotive uses and for container glass that stores food and beverages. It reinforces glass fibres and required for the production of fibreglass insulation. It is applied in speciality glasses that include test tubes, scientific tools, television and CRT monitors, and also in incandescent and fluorescent lamps. Calcium silicate bricks For manufacturing calcium silicate bricks, silica sand is mixed with high calcium lime with a sand to lime ratio of 10 or 20. These bricks contain good regularity, smooth faces, and sharp corners with a wide variety of strength. The durability of calcium silicate bricks is similar to concrete and is not resistant to sulphur containing environments. Silica sand for water filtration Silica sand is an effetive filtration bed in the removal of contaminants in both processing of wastewater and in the filtration of the drinking water. Silica sand neutralizes the acidic elements to maintain optimal pH balance in water filters. As it is chemically inert, it will not react when exposed to acids, contaminants, volatile organics or solvents. Metal Casting & Production Silica sand is an essential part of the production of steel, ferrous and nonferrous foundry industries for de-oxidation and grain refinement. For obtaining desired internal or external shapes, metal parts are cast in silica sand. It is a preferred choice for castings that involve cast iron, steel, titanium and also used to clean the casting surfaces. Paints & Coatings Silica sand constitutes of high-performance properties such as brightness, reflectance, oil absorption and colour-consistency. These properties help to improve the overall appearance and durability of industrial and architectural paints and coatings. Its low oil absorption nature improves finishing colour that makes a durable coating rich in pigments. Silica fillers improvement retention and also provide resistance to dirt, mildew, weathering and cracking
Micro Silica Sand: Micro silica also known as fume, is an amorphous (non-crystalline) polymorph of silicon dioxide, silica. It is an ultrafine powder collected as a by-product of the silicon and ferrosilicon alloy production and consists of spherical particles with an average particle diameter of 150 mm. The main field of application is as pozzolanic for high performance concrete because of its extreme fineness and high silica. Applications : Silica is added to Portland cement concrete to improve its properties, in particular its compressive strength, bond strength, and abrasion resistance. These improvements stem from both the mechanical improvements resulting from addition of a very fine powder to the cement paste mix as well as from the pozzolanic reactions between the silica fume and free calcium hydroxide in the paste. Advantages : Addition of silica also reduces the permeability of concrete to chloride ions, which protects the reinforcing steel of concrete from corrosion, especially in chloride-rich environments such as coastal regions and those of humid continental roadways and runways (because of the use of deicing salts) and saltwater bridges.
China Clay: China Clay is a clay mineral with the chemical composition AlSiO3O5(OH)3. It is layered silicate mineral. It is soft earthy, usually white in color, produced by the chemical weathering of Aluminium Silicate mineral like Feldspar. Commercial grades of China Clay are supplied and transported as dry powder form, semi dry noodle form or as slurry. Applications: - It is used in Cer/bamics for body & glazing of Tiles and Sanitary Wares. - In paper it is used as filler. It is also used for paper coating purpose. - It is used in paint also to extend Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) and modify gloss level. - It is used in rubber to enhance reinforcement properties.
