Silicon is the most abundant element on the earth's surface and in the form of silica is consumed in a great number of industrial uses.
Silica has many industrial applications in abrasives and polishes, in glass manufacture, fillers and extenders, silica brick manufacture, as a catalyst, in specialty coatings, cleansers, ceramics, electronics, optics and refractories, in Ferro-silicon manufacture, rubber, and as franc sand. Processing of silica of specific quality yields several types of specialty silica. These include colloidal, fumed, fused, high purity ground, silica gel, and precipitated silica.
Colloidal silica is mainly used as a high temperature binder for silicon wafer polishing and carbonless paper. Fumed silica has unique strength, thixotropic properties and flatting properties, is a valuable ingredient in rubber, plastics, coatings, cement and sealants.

Silica sand, also known as quartz sand, is composed mainly of silicon dioxide (SiO). It is a naturally occurring mineral that is commonly used in a variety of industries due to its properties like durability, high melting point, and resistance to weathering. Here are some common uses and facts about silica sand:
Common Uses:
Glass Manufacturing: Silica sand is a primary raw material in the production of glass, including container glass, flat glass, and specialty glass.
Construction: It is used in concrete, mortar, and other construction materials, as well as for sandblasting.
Foundries: Silica sand is used in foundry molds and cores for casting metal parts.
Water Filtration: The sand is used in water filtration systems because of its ability to trap contaminants.
Oil & Gas Industry: It is used in hydraulic fracturing (fracking) to prop open fractures in shale rock to extract oil and natural gas.
Sports & Leisure: Silica sand is used in products like sandboxes, golf course bunkers, and artificial turf.
Properties:
Hardness: Silica sand is known for its hardness, typically ranking around 7 on the Mohs scale, which makes it useful for many industrial applications.
Grain Size: The grain size of silica sand varies, with smaller grains being used for things like glass and larger grains being used for sandblasting or filtration.
Color: It can vary in color, from white to tan or even pink, depending on impurities and iron content.
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.
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.
Silicon is the most abundant element on earth's surface and in the form of silica it is consumed in great numbers for industrial uses. We offer good quality Silica Sand that is in huge demand in the markets. We offer Silica Sand at very affordable price to adjacent states, national & multi national companies engaged in construction and manufacturing of glass making, foundries, abrasive, tennis coating, grinding media etc.
Silica sand is one of the most common varieties of sand found in the world. It is used for a wide range of applications. Sand is the general term for broken down granules of minerals or rocks, technically between about one-sixteenth of a millimeter to two millimeters in diameter, falling between silt and gravel in the spectrum of sizes. There are many varieties of sand in the world, each with their own unique composition and qualities. Silica is another name for Silicon dioxide, SiO2, of which quartz is a specific latticed structure. So silica sand is quartz that over the years, through the work of water and wind, has been broken down into tiny granules. These granules can be used for many different purposes, and can be found in most non-tropical regions.

Kaolin (China Clay)
Kaolin is white, soft, plastic clay mainly composed of fine-grained plate-like particles. Kaolin is formed when the anhydrous aluminum silicates which are found in feldspar rich rocks, like granite, are altered by weathering or hydrothermal process
Quality of china clay varies from mine to mine in many physical aspects, which in turn influence their end use. Of particular commercial interest is the degree of crystallinity which influences the brightness, whiteness, opacity, gloss, film strength, and viscosity.
