Quartz is the second most common mineral in the Earth's continental crust. It is made up of a lattice of silica (SiO2) tetrahedra. Quartz has a hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale and a density of 2.65 g/cm. Quartz sand is utilized as a part of numerous businesses:- Quartz sand/grains is used Glass Industry, Ceramics Industry, Paint industry, Oil well boring. With the support of our diligent personnel and domain expertise, we are able to manufacturer & supply Quartz Grit/Sand. This range of quartz grits is widely recognized in the market for its high physical and chemical properties. A wide assortment of high review Quartz that we are putting forth is refreshing for its obstruction against mechanical and compound weathering. They are universal and tough. The offered Quartz is finely prepared under strict supervision.
- Uses of Quartz Sand: Uses of Quartz Powder are spread over a very wide range of industry where functional roles of it are also varied, like quartz powder is used as a filler in porcelain, ceramics, sanitary ware and Engineered stone industry while quartz grains are used lining refractories in induction furnaces, as a flux in smelting operations.
- Uses of Quartz sand as an Abrasive: Quartz sand is used for sand blasting, scouring cleansers, grinding media, and grit for sanding and sawing.
