Silica Sand Silica Sand is quartz that over time, through the work of water and wind, has been broken down into tiny granules. Commercial Silica Sand is widely used as a proppant by companies involved in oil and natural gas recovery in conventional and unconventional resource plays. The resource is also used in industrial processing to make everyday items such as glass, construction materials, personal care products, electronics, and even renewable materials. Industrial sand is a term normally applied to high purity silica sand products with closely controlled sizing. It is a more precise product than common concrete and asphalt gravels.
We are supplier and exporter of Silica Sand. Silica Sand * Silica Sand is a type of sand usually available in the form of quartz. It is a hard and crystalline form of mineral components. * Silica sand is the most abundant mineral with the purity more than 99.0%. It is the preferred choice of consumption for various industrial purposes.
Microsilica (silica fume) is a by-product from silicon metal or ferrosilicon industries, is an amorphous silicon dioxide SiO2. This product reacts chemically with the calcium hydroxide in the cement paste which yields a calcium silicate hydrate gel that significantly enhances strength and durability. The super fine microsilica fills the voids between cement particles creating a very dense, less permeable concrete. White Cement advantages: Sustainability: Solar Reflectance Index (SRI): Floors finished with white or pastel color concrete will have a much higher SRI than floors with gray concrete, therefore they will reflect light better, and generate energy savings for the lifetime of the floors. Reduction of Heat Island effect: By constructing buildings with white concrete roofs or light-colored roof tiles, the Heat Island Effect is reduced from surfaces generating less heat and improved reflectivity. Architectural Concrete: White Portland Cement is ideal for decorative concrete and Architectural Concrete applications, Masonry and Cementitious Building Products. A key advantage of using white cement for these applications is that it provides a base color that can be tinted to custom colors to meet any color spectrum demand.

We also maintain an AFS system to produce foundry sand. We provide the worldâ??s best silica sand, especially suitable for the glass industry due to its pure white colour.
Micro Silica Sand: Micro silica also known as fume, is an amorphous (non-crystalline) polymorph of silicon dioxide, silica. It is an ultrafine powder collected as a by-product of the silicon and ferrosilicon alloy production and consists of spherical particles with an average particle diameter of 150 mm. The main field of application is as pozzolanic for high performance concrete because of its extreme fineness and high silica. Applications : Silica is added to Portland cement concrete to improve its properties, in particular its compressive strength, bond strength, and abrasion resistance. These improvements stem from both the mechanical improvements resulting from addition of a very fine powder to the cement paste mix as well as from the pozzolanic reactions between the silica fume and free calcium hydroxide in the paste. Advantages : Addition of silica also reduces the permeability of concrete to chloride ions, which protects the reinforcing steel of concrete from corrosion, especially in chloride-rich environments such as coastal regions and those of humid continental roadways and runways (because of the use of deicing salts) and saltwater bridges.
Silicon is the most abundant element on earth's surface and in the form of silica it is consumed in great numbers for industrial uses. We offer good quality Silica Sand that is in huge demand in the markets. We offer Silica Sand at very affordable price to adjacent states, national & multi national companies engaged in construction and manufacturing of glass making, foundries, abrasive, tennis coating, grinding media etc.
