Silica sand, also known as industrial sand, is composed primarily of quartz (SiO2) and is renowned for its high silica content and consistent granule size. It is a versatile material used in a wide range of industries, including glassmaking, foundries, construction, and filtration. Its high melting point, chemical purity, and hardness make it ideal for producing glass, casting metals, and as a component in construction materials.
Silica sand is also used in water filtration systems and as a proppant in oil and gas recovery. Carefully processed and graded, it meets the stringent requirements of industrial applications.
