Product Description

Silica Sand 0-600 micron

Silica sand in the 0-600 micron size range consists of very fine particles, with most of them falling between 0.6 millimeters (600 microns) and 0.001 millimeters (1 micron) in diameter. This fine-grained silica sand is known for its versatility and numerous applications. Here’s a description of silica sand in the 0-600 micron size range:

  1. Particle Size Range: Silica sand in this size range is characterized by its small particle size, making it much finer than coarser sands commonly found on beaches.
  2. Purity: High-quality silica sand in this size range is typically composed of at least 95% silicon dioxide (SiO2), ensuring a high degree of purity.
  3. Color and Texture: Silica sand in this size range is usually light-colored, often white or light beige, and has a very fine, powdery texture. It feels smooth to the touch and can flow like a fluid when handled.
  4. Chemical Composition: The primary chemical component of silica sand is silicon dioxide (SiO2), making it chemically stable and resistant to most chemicals and environmental factors.
  5. Industrial Uses:
    • Glass Manufacturing: This fine silica sand is a key raw material in glass production. It contributes to the clarity, transparency, and strength of glass products.
    • Ceramics: Silica sand is used in ceramics and pottery manufacturing to provide structure and stability to clay bodies and glazes.
    • Precision Casting: Fine silica sand is often used in precision casting processes, such as investment casting, where intricate details and high surface finish are required.
    • Manufacturing Silicon Wafers: In the electronics industry, this fine silica sand can be used in the production of silicon wafers for semiconductor manufacturing.
    • Paints and Coatings: It’s used as a filler in paints and coatings to enhance texture and durability.
  6. Filtration: Silica sand in this size range is commonly used as a filter medium in various applications, including:
    • Water Filtration: Silica sand is employed in water treatment plants to remove impurities and particles from drinking water and industrial wastewater.
    • Swimming Pool Filtration: Fine silica sand is used in pool filters to trap and remove debris and contaminants from pool water.
    • Aquarium Filtration: It’s used in aquarium filters to provide effective mechanical filtration.
  7. Sandblasting: Fine silica sand can also be used in sandblasting applications for surface preparation and cleaning, especially when a smoother finish is desired.
  8. Mold Making: In some mold-making applications, particularly those requiring fine details and a smooth surface finish, this fine silica sand can be used as a mold material.
  9. Filler in Construction Materials: It’s used as a filler in various construction materials, such as grouts and cement-based products, to improve texture and workability.
  10. Agriculture: In agriculture, fine silica sand can be used in soil mixtures to improve soil structure, aeration, and drainage.

The specific applications of silica sand in the 0-600 micron size range are vast and varied, depending on the industry and requirements. Its fine particle size makes it valuable for processes where precision, smoothness, and consistency are crucial.
