Product Description
Silica Sand 600-1200 micron
Silica sand in the 600-1200 micron size range consists of moderately fine particles, with most of them falling between 1.2 millimeters (1200 microns) and 0.6 millimeters (600 microns) in diameter. This range of silica sand is often used in various industrial applications. Here’s a description of silica sand in the 600-1200 micron size range:
- Particle Size Range: Silica sand in this size range is characterized by its moderate fineness, making it suitable for a variety of applications that require a balance between coarseness and fineness.
- 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 a moderate granular texture, feeling smoother than coarser sands but coarser than finer sands.
- 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: Silica sand in the 600-1200 micron range can be used in construction materials such as concrete, mortar, and grout to enhance texture, workability, and strength.
- Sandblasting: It is suitable for sandblasting applications when a balance between abrasiveness and smoothness is required for surface preparation and cleaning.
- Erosion Control: In erosion control measures along coastlines and riverbanks, this size of silica sand can be used to reduce the impact of water currents and waves.
- Drainage: It is used in landscaping and gardening to improve soil drainage and prevent waterlogging.
- Manufacturing: In some manufacturing processes, such as metal casting and mold making, this size range of silica sand may be preferred for achieving specific molding and casting characteristics.
- Sports and Recreation: Silica sand of this size is sometimes used in sports field construction and playgrounds to provide a safe and comfortable surface.
- Filtration: In certain industrial and municipal filtration applications, where moderate-sized particles need to be removed from liquids or gases, this size of silica sand can be used as a filter medium.
- Agriculture: In agriculture, it may be used in soil mixtures to improve soil structure, aeration, and drainage in specific applications.
- Filler in Paints and Coatings: Silica sand in the 600-1200 micron range can be added to paints and coatings to improve texture and rheological properties.
The specific applications of silica sand in the 600-1200 micron size range can vary depending on factors such as the desired level of fineness, the need for coarseness, and the requirements of particular industries and projects. This size range offers versatility for applications where a moderate particle size is suitable.
