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 speciality coatings, cleansers, ceramics, electronics, optics and refractories, in ferro-silicon manufacture, rubber, and as a frac sand.
* Processing of silica of specific quality yields several types of speciality silicas. These include colloidal, fumed, fused, high purity ground, silica gel, and precipitated silica.
