About Our Sand
Silica sand, also known as quartz sand, is a pure white sedimentary rock with a high percentage of silicon dioxide (SiO2). It consists mainly of quartz particles and contains minimal impurities and heavy metals (less than 1.0%).
The term “glass sand” refers to silica sand (quartz) that possesses physical and chemical specifications suitable for the industry. Egyptian silica sand is renowned as the purest in the world, with a purity level of approximately from 99% to 99.7%, expressed as the silica ratio (SiO2).
Silica sand has various applications, including glassware, crystal glass, glass panels, and optical glass. It is also used in molds, plumbing fixtures, and as a reducing agent for alkaline dissolution. Additionally, it finds use in polishing materials, ceramics, bricks, water purification filters, swimming pools, rubber and plastic manufacturing, paper production, paints, and specific types of cement.
Shipping and packaging methods for silica sand vary based on buyer preferences. It can be directly loaded onto shipping vessels or packaged in large bags called jumbo bags, with customizable capacities of 1 ton, 1.25 tons, or 1.5 tons
