Versatile Industrial ApplicationsSilica Sand is highly regarded in industries such as foundry, oil drilling, glass manufacturing, paints, and water filtration due to its high strength (7 Mohs), granule shape, and chemical purity. Its usage as an acid refractory is crucial in processes requiring resistance to acidic environments, making it a preferred choice across sectors.
Premium Quality and Superior CompositionOur Silica Sand is known for its consistent SiO2 composition, specific gravity of 2.4, and visually appealing white to off-white color. Sourced and processed in India, it undergoes stringent quality checks to ensure it meets the highest standards demanded by both domestic and international clients.
FAQs of Silica Sand:
Q: How is Silica Sand used in foundry and oil drilling applications?
A: In foundries, Silica Sand is used to create molds and cores due to its high fusion point, strength, and chemical stability. For oil drilling, it serves as a proppant to hold open fractures in rock, facilitating the extraction of oil and gas.
Q: What are the benefits of using Silica Sand in glass and paint manufacturing?
A: Silica Sand, with its high SiO2 content and granule structure, enhances clarity and purity in glass, while in paints, it improves durability, abrasion resistance, and smoothness of the final coating.
Q: Where is your Silica Sand sourced and processed?
A: Our Silica Sand is sourced and processed entirely in India, adhering to strict quality controls to provide consistent and reliable material for various industrial uses.
Q: What is the process of preparing Silica Sand for industrial use?
A: The preparation involves mining, washing to remove impurities, grading to obtain the desired granule size, and drying. This meticulous process ensures the sand maintains its strength and purity for specialized applications.
Q: When should Silica Sand be used as an acid refractory?
A: Silica Sand is ideal as an acid refractory in environments exposed to acidic substances or high temperatures, such as in metallurgical furnaces, due to its chemical inertness and resilience.
Q: What types of industries benefit from using your Silica Sand?
A: Industries such as foundries, oil and gas (for drilling), glass manufacturing, paints and coatings, and water treatment facilities benefit from the superior properties of our Silica Sand.
