Silica sand is a granular material that contains quartz and other minerals, used primarily in the construction industry for various applications such as glassmaking, ceramics, and as a filtration medium in water treatment plants.
Product Introduction:
Chemical Formula: SiO2
Molecular Weight: 60.08
Physical Properties: Silica sand is composed of silicon dioxide, usually in the form of quartz. It is granular, with a range of particle sizes from fine dust to gravel-sized grains. Silica sand is hard, chemically inert, and has high melting and boiling points.

Main applications:
Silica sand is essential in the production of glass and ceramics due to its high silica content and uniform particle size distribution. It is also used as a proppant in hydraulic fracturing in the oil and gas industry and as a filtration medium in water treatment plants.
Product features:
1. High silica content.
2. Uniform particle size distribution.
3. Chemically inert and stable.
4. Suitable for various industrial applications.
5. Available in different grades and sizes.
Packing:
Silica sand is typically packed in bulk bags or 50 lb (22.7 kg) bags for easy handling and transportation.
Note:
The specifications and packaging of silica sand can be customized according to customer requirements.
