Silica Sand

Silica Sand

Silica sand is one of the most common varieties of sand found in all over the world. 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. There are many varieties of sand in the world, each with their own unique composition and qualities. Silica sand is silicon dioxide containing SiO2.

Our high purity silica sand is widely used as a raw material in industrial processing to make everyday items such as glass, construction materials, personal care products, electronics, and even renewable materials.

For industrial and manufacturing applications, deposits of silica-yielding products of at least 95% SiO2 are preferred. Silica is hard and chemically inert and has a high melting point, attributable to the strength of the bonds between the atoms. These are prized qualities in applications like foundries and filtration systems. Industrial sand’s strength, silicon dioxide (SiO2) contribution, and non-reactive properties make it an indispensable ingredient in the production of thousands of everyday products.

At HRD, we manufacture different types of Silica sand grades which are available in powder, granules cum powder form. These grades are used for different applications.
