Silica Sand

Product Details

Silica Sand is a mineral, dug out of Silica mines and stored. The deposits of silica are found in our mines situated in JAMSHORO district in Sindh. We have a setup of sieving machinery which works with electrical and conveyer belt system which produces Silica granules of different sizes. We try our best to supply dust free Silica Sand and actual size according to client specification.

Silica sand is a product of mechanical and chemical weathering of quartz-bearing igneous and metamorphic rocks such as granites and chemical weathering breaking down the less stable minerals such as feldspars and releases the more stable ones such as quartz and zircon. The stable mineral fragments are transported and re-deposited in water. Wave and stream action may further modify the deposits by sorting and washing until a relatively pure deposit of silica sand remains.

Silica sand is an industrial term used for sand or easily disaggregated sandstone with a very high percentage of quartz or silica grains.
