Silica Sand is the derived product of Quartz. With the friction of water and wind, quartz broke down into tiny granular molecules. Thus, Silica Sand is formed. They are fine non-crystalline molecules of SiO2. The mineral composition of Silica (SiO2) is a mixture of Silicon and Oxygen. They can be available on Earth Crust or can be mined for the extraction of pure silica sand. The extracted ore undergoes processing for the removal of impurities to obtain the purest form of silica sand. It is then dried up and sized to a certain particle size according to its application. Silica Sand is not similar to other types of sand, concrete, and gravel as it is one of the purest forms of sand. The pure silica sand doesn’t have any colour. If it does, then that’s only due to the impurities in it. Generally found in white, yellow, or beige colours. Because of its high strength and hardness, it is widely used in various industries. Hence, named Industrial Sand. Major Uses of Silica Sand is in Construction, Glass Production, Metal Casting, Paint and Coating, Oil and Gas Recovery, Water Filtration and its Production, Industrial Abrasives, Ceramics & Refractories, Calcium Silicate Bricks, The uses of Silica Sand do not end here as the above ones are the few major uses. It has a wide range of use in day-to-day life in various industries including Chemical Production, Adhesives, Wood Finishes, Distempers, bunkers, greens on Golf Courses, Turf fields, Synthetic Sports Fields, and so on.
