Silica Sand

• Global Processing L.L.C offers high purity, washed and dried round grain silica sand which is ideal for all types of Foundries
• Due to the silica grain shape and high purity, this results in low binder percentages for cores and molds
• High Refractoriness due to high purity silica sand of 99.8% SiO2
• Silica sand is washed and dried to ensure a better coating of the binder to the grains
• The blending system incorporated results in consistent grades of silica
• An advantage that helps the customers lower their inventories is the local processing and ready availability of stock

Most rigid industry-based specifications allow silica sand to be used in making glass. Small amounts of impurities like iron, manganese, chromium, calcium, or aluminum, can alter the color and affect in the production of Glass. The glass industry has established different standard specifications for the silica sand intended for different types of glass. The requirements for these grades of silica sand are set out in BS 2975:1988, British standard methods for sampling and analysis of glassmaking sand (BS 2975)2.

The glass sand requires:
(a) Maximum silica levels
(b) Minimum levels of aluminum, iron, chromium, copper, cobalt, nickel, and vanadium
(c) Minimum alkali levels
(d) Minimum losses on heating; and
(e) Consistent particle size distributions

• As per the specific glass application, the limits of the above parameters are specified and maintained accordingly.

• The silica sand supplied and used as a filler in the GRP Industry is inert, free of inorganic material with High Silica content with pH at 7
• The silica sand is tested and supplied as per customer specification for the gradation curve
