Dried natural quartz silica sands
Silica or also called quartz sand is sorted by wet and dry screening processes. Our Quartz Q silica sands are fire dried in our industrial processes. Quartz Q posseses a hygiene certificate for building products and filtermedia. It is available in 20 standard primary fractions, other granulations on request.
It is mainly used for applications as:
Filter medium for water processing plants. As a filler in resin bonded flooring systems, based on epoxy-based resins, polyurethanes or methyl methacrylate. Also it finds application in so called cementbased dry-mix mortar systems as a dry filler. This to achieve excellent products as plasters, concrete, cementbased floorings, mortars or tile clay. Quartz Q can also be used for decorative or functional prefab building elements.
Dried sand is also used in concrete products, sport fields, wet-blasting, water filtration, as well as roofingsystems (protection and isolation), gardens ,terraces, children playgrounds, roads and aquariums.
Our sand has a high abrasion resistance and good natural strength parameters. Also it is precisely sorted in industrial processes.
