As a general rule, The purer the sand, the clearer the products
Silicon and oxygen are the earth's two most abundant elements and together they make silica, one of the earths three most common rock forming minerals.
Akshar Minerals Silica sand is high purity natural crystalline silica. It is inherently bright, white, low in moisture and chemically inert in nature. Basically, It is made up of two main element Silica & Oxygen. Silica sand is made up of Silicon Dioxide. There are number of different uses of silica sand in the industrial and commercial sector, from golf courses to glass making .

Applications
Akshar Minerals Silica sand is used depends on physical, chemical and mechanical characteristics such as grain size, shape color, structure and distribution as well as refractoriness strength and stability. There characteristics can differ depending on how mineral is processed after it is mined. This product gets easily mixed and can be used for high temperature applications like flat glass, furnace tubes and many more due to its excellent thermal expansion, hardness. It yields improved durability and burnish resistance. We make for all type of application in the industries like Glass industries, Sodium Silicate Industry, Golf course & Sport Ground, Adhesive and sealant, Rubber industry, Texture Wall Paint, Sand Blasting, Agro pesticide, Cosmetic industry, Soap & Detergent, Filtration Media, Power Plant & Petroleum, Construction Chemical Industry, Plastic, Fertilizer, Paint, Ceramic, Insulation, Foundry, Ramming Mass, Steel Industry, Landscaping, GRC & GRP Industry, Oil & Petroleum Industry, Oil Exploration & Oil Drilling.
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 is a naturally occurring hard granular material made up of quartz grains. It is also known as quartz mineral and is very essential commodity in numerous industries. It is made up of crystalline mineral from oxygen and silicon atoms with a molecular formula of Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) in the form of quartz. It is abundant in nature and is found in soil, stone and sand. It ranges from very fine particles to large granules sizes. Depending upon the processing method and source of extraction the exact physical and chemical properties can vary. It is obtained by extraction methods like open-pit mining and underground mining. Then it undergoes several process to refine its quality and remove impurities. Then the silica sand gets ready and now it can be used in wide range of industries and in various applications. Processing of silica as per the specification is perfectly done by us and it includes silica gel, high purity silica, fumed and fused silica, precipitated silica, etc. Silica sand finds it application in water purification and filtration, disodium ultramarine and refractories, in building artificial turfs, act as a catalysts in foundry moldings and in metal casting. It can also be used in construction, glass and ceramic, paints, plastics industry. It finds its role as a filler in agriculture and food production industry, in construction industry for bricks, motor and concrete. Silica sand can easily absorb water and therefore it finds its application in hygroscopic and to maintain sports stadiums and leisure facilities. Jyoti Chemical provides you with the premium quality of White Silica Sand at lowest rates in various mesh sizes i.e. 16 mesh, 24 mesh and in various forms i.e. powder and crystal as per your specification and packaging required.
Fused silica Introduction
 Fused silica is made of high purity crystal silica by electrically fusing (fusing temperature 1800-2000â??) to amorphous Silicon dioxide , then it was classed to different grades by manual and then specially engineered to granular and powder form. Because fused silica has a very low thermal conductivity and excellent thermal shock resistance, it is used in lots of fields of investment casting,refractory,ceramic,epoxy modling compound,fusion bounded epoxy.
