Silica sand contains high purity silicon dioxide (SiO₂). Thanks to these features, in addition to being used as the main raw material of glass production, it is also preferred in various industries.

Usage areas of silica sand:

• Cam production: It is the main raw material of glass.
• Casting industry:Used as metal casting mold material.
• Building material: It is used in the production of building materials such as tiles, ceramics, mortars and concrete.
• Chemical industry: Silicates have acid-resistant properties and are used in the production of various chemicals.
• Filtration: Used in water treatment plants and pool filters.
• Sports fields: Used on astroturf pitches and beach volleyball courts.
• Sandblasting: Surface cleaning letters are used.

Properties of silica sand:

• It is resistant to high temperatures: It is suitable for high temperature applications since its melting point is high.
• Chemical resistance: Resistant to most chemicals.
• Acidity: It is neutral, not harmful.
• Water permeability: It has high water permeability.

Things to consider when purchasing silica sand:

• It should be chosen in accordance with the intended use. There are different types of silica sand with different children for different usage areas.
• Attention should be paid to the parts of the sand. There are varieties of silica sand with different grain sizes.
• The purity of silica sand should be taken into consideration. The purity of silica sand may vary depending on the intended use.
