Silica Sand

Introduction Silica is the name given to a group of minerals composed of silicon and oxygen, the two most abundant elements in the earth's crust. Silica is found commonly in the crystalline state and rarely in an amorphous state. It is composed of one atom of silicon and two atoms of oxygen resulting in the chemical formula SiO2 Sand consists of small grains or particles of mineral and rock fragments. We have high technology in silica washing plants.
We have both wet and dry process in our plants. Also we have proper sizing and demagnetic system. We have high gross magnet in our plant to remove iron. We also maintain AFS system to produce foundry sand. Our silica sand color is pure white and world’s best suitable raw material for glass industries.
