We are a manufacturer and exporter of a wide range of Silica Sand/ Glass Sand. Clear quartz crystals or high-class Silica Sand are fused for the manufacture of ophthalmic glasses and lenses. Silica sand is produced by crushing sand stone or quartzite of open texture, and washing and garding it to yield requisite grain distribution. Silica flour is produced by crushing grinding and washing the high grade quartz, quartzite rocks or from white silica sand.

Uses For Silica Sand

Silica sand used for water purification and manufacture of glass, synthetic foundry molding catalysts, disodium ultramarine etc. it is also used for acid heat resistant ceramics, refractories, pottery glaze, enamel etc. Silica sand of 150 mesh is used in Sawing stone, grinding and surfacing glass and polishing marble Rounded Grains of silica sand are used for sand blasting it is also used as a filler in paints 'Wood Paste' moulded hard rubber goods, gypsum Plasters, ox chloride acoustic plasters and soap.

Specification of Silica Sand/Glass Sand

Special Grade : intended for the manufacture of high grade colour less glass. Such as Crystal Glass, tableware & other decorative wares. b)Grade 1. intended for the manufacture of decolourised glassware, such as container ware, lamp ware. c)Grade 2. intended for the manufacture of glassware where slight tint is permissible. d) Grade 3 intended for the manufacture of glasses like sheet glass and some colored glass like iron sulphur amber glass.


Silica Sand Silicon is the most abundant element on the earth's surface and in the form of silica is consumed in a great number of industrial uses. Silica has many industrial applications in abrasives and polishes, in glass manufacture, fillers and extenders, silica brick manufacture, as a catalyst, in specialty coatings, cleansers, ceramics, electronics, optics and refractories, in ferro-silicon manufacture, rubber, and as a frac sand.


Its ability to absorb liquids makes it valuable in a wide variety of applications including catalysts, anticaking agents in food and pharmaceutical products, desiccants, cosmetics, plastics, specialty coatings, paper and adhesives. Precipitated silica is another type of specialty silica which is mainly used as a reinforcing agent in tire compounds.
