About FUCED SILICA SAND Detail

Fused silica is a noncrystalline (glass) form of silicon dioxide (quartz, sand). Typical of glasses, it lacks long range order in its atomic structure. It's highly cross linked three dimensional structure gives rise to it's high use temperature and low thermal expansion coefficient.

Exceptional Purity and Particle Uniformity

With SiO2 content exceeding 99% and finely controlled fineness of 90-95% passing through a 600 micron sieve, Fused Silica Sand delivers superior quality for demanding industrial uses. Its angular particle structure and high bulk density enhance performance in cement, glass, filtration, and foundry applications by providing consistent blending and optimal mechanical properties.

Reliable Thermal and Chemical Performance

Engineered for environments requiring stability, this sand is characterized by excellent chemical inertness and high thermal conductivity, making it ideal for high-temperature industrial processes. Functional up to 1600C, Fused Silica Sand ensures enduring structural integrity throughout manufacturing or construction cycles.

FAQ's of FUCED SILICA SAND:

Q: How is Fused Silica Sand utilized in cement manufacturing?

A: Fused Silica Sand serves as a high-purity raw material for cement, particularly Portland and blended types. Its uniform particle size and high silicon dioxide content contribute to enhanced strength, rapid initial set, and consistent hardening, meeting the stringent demands of modern construction projects.

Q: What benefits does the angular particle shape of this sand provide?

A: The angular shape ensures better interlocking and bonding within cement composites or foundry molds, contributing to greater compressive and bending strengths as well as improved durability and stability in finished products.

Q: When should Fused Silica Sand be preferred over natural or regular silica sands?

A: It is ideal where high purity, uniform particle size, and low moisture are critical, such as in high-performance cements, specialty glass production, filtration media, and foundry casting where precision and strength are required.

Q: Where does Fused Silica Sand find its primary applications?

A: This sand is primarily used in the manufacture of cement (as a raw ingredient), glass production, construction materials, water filtration systems, and industrial foundry operations, owing to its high purity and thermal stability.

Q: What packaging options are available for Fused Silica Sand?

A: The sand is supplied in robust 50 kg bags for smaller projects or 1000 kg bulk bags for larger industrial requirements, ensuring ease of transport, storage, and handling.

Q: How does the process of using Fused Silica Sand enhance product quality?

A: By introducing fine, uniformly sized sand particles with excellent chemical stability and low impurities, manufacturers can achieve higher compressive and bending strength, rapid setting times, and improved longevity in end-use applications.
