Quartzite Silica sand

Quartz and Quartzite Sand (Silica Sand) Silica (SiO2) is actually the group of minerals which is a mixture of Silicon and Oxygen. These are found as mines in most regions of the world. Silica Sand Crystal depends more on the hardness ratio, silica ratio and chemical structure of mines. It is mostly used as wet and dry in the industry in yellow, beige and white in color. Silica Sand is actually a granular material contains quartz or quartzite in which sometimes it has minerals. Quartz over time turns into Silica sand gradually because of the influence of water and wind. However in Industry quartzite stones by processing turns into silica sand or industrial sand which is actually a type of high purity Silica Sand products. Despite of other types of sands such as in concrete, silica sand is actually sized controlling the material. Most importantly it is the industrial sand

Applications:
You can use Silica Sand in many sectors and that too in a very indescribable way. It is usually used as a raw material in most of the construction industry. Silica has a high melting point which can be used as mold sand for casting and foundry. In every industrial sector, silica sand is a very important element.
Followings are the major fields where we see uses of silica sand:
  For Glassmaking
  Metal Casting
  Metal Production
  Construction
  Paint and Coating
  Filtration and Water Production
  Oil and Gas Recovery

WHY EXON RIDGE SILICA SAND?
Undoubtedly, our company offers the best silica sand quality in granulation (sizing) in Asia and the Middle East. The wet system, which is accompanied by constant washing with water, as well as granulation using the specific weight method, which is the latest technology in the world, allows us to offer a product to industries that is both in terms of continuity in production quality and the perspective of accuracy in grading should attract customers' satisfaction.
In order to separate the products based on their performance, 6 product codes have been categorized with the following specifications. These products codes are; ERS100, ERS80,

ERS70, ERS60, ERS50 and ERS40. In the following, the physical and chemical characteristics are determined.
Silica sand 0-0.2 mm (Product Code: ERS 100), AFS/GFN range: 87-92

This type of quartzite sand is used for molding and making small steel and cast iron parts using sodium silicate and carbon dioxide gas in non-ferrous alloys.
