Product Description
Silica Sand 6000 – 8000 micron
Silica sand in the 6000-8000 micron size range consists of extremely coarse particles, with most of them falling between 8 millimeters (8000 microns) and 6 millimeters (6000 microns) in diameter. This range of silica sand is exceptionally coarse and is used in specialized industrial applications that require very large sand particles. Here’s a description of silica sand in the 6000-8000 micron size range:
- Particle Size Range: Silica sand in this size range is characterized by its extremely coarse particle size, making it suitable for applications that require exceptionally large-sized particles.
- Purity: High-quality silica sand in this size range typically contains at least 95% silicon dioxide (SiO2), ensuring a high degree of purity.
- Color and Texture: Silica sand in this size range is typically light-colored, often white, beige, or pale yellow. It has an extremely coarse and granular texture, feeling rough to the touch.
- 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.
- Industrial Uses:
- Construction: Extremely coarse silica sand in the 6000-8000 micron range is not commonly used in traditional construction applications due to its large particle size. However, it may be employed in specialized construction scenarios where unique characteristics are required.
- Sandblasting: It is not typically used for sandblasting applications since the particle size is much larger than what is generally required for effective surface preparation and cleaning.
- Erosion Control: In some cases, this size of silica sand can be used in erosion control measures along coastlines and riverbanks to reduce the impact of water currents and waves.
- Landscaping: Very coarse silica sand may be used for drainage purposes in landscaping projects, particularly when dealing with exceptionally heavy water runoff.
- Manufacturing: In manufacturing processes such as metal casting and mold making, this size range of silica sand is less common due to its extreme coarseness.
- Equestrian Surfaces: Coarse silica sand is sometimes used in horse riding arenas to provide a stable and non-slip surface, but extremely coarse sands like those in this range are less common for this purpose.
- Filtration: This size of silica sand is not typically used in filtration applications due to its large particle size.
- Agriculture: In agriculture, it is uncommon to use extremely coarse silica sand like that in the 6000-8000 micron range.
- Filler in Construction Materials: Silica sand in this size range is not typically used as a filler in construction materials due to its large particle size.
The specific applications of silica sand in the 6000-8000 micron size range are limited and often niche, as its very coarse nature makes it less versatile compared to finer grades of silica sand. It is mainly employed in scenarios where exceptionally large-sized particles are required for specific purposes.
