Abrasive Quartz Sand

Abrasive Quartz Sand is manufactured and supplied by us in various parts of Rajasthan and all over India like Jodhpur, Jaipur, Ahmedabad, Pune, Gurgaon, Delhi, Faridabad and many others. We manufacture and supply all types and grades of quartz sand like abrasive quartz sand, dry quartz sand, fused quartz sand, ordinary quartz sand, etc. Quartz Sand is considered as the best abrasive for blasting purposes.

Because of its high silica concentration and minimal iron oxide and other chemicals, silica or glass sand is a specific sort of quartz sand that is excellent for glassmaking. Grain-size distribution and chemical tests were performed on 10 sand samples collected from diverse locations in this study.

The majority of them are surface-to-near-surface glass sand deposits, according to geological resources. The majority of the sand grains in most deposits were angular-to-rounded, with occasional sections of angular or rounded grains. The sands have a high percentage of silica and low levels of Fe, Al, Ca, Mg, Na, and K, according to chemical analyses.

The concentrations of these components in the samples are consistent with internationally accepted glass production standards. These raw quartz sands were employed as a raw material for the manufacture of soda-lime, lead crystal, and lead-free high refractive index glasses as a consequence of the advanced research. Colourless and tinted glass products have been successfully used in the home art and quartz sand manufacturers.

1.) Quartz Sand for Optical Glass

Cameras, optical instruments, microscopes, and optical fibres for telecommunications all employ optical glass. In general, raw material criteria are determined by the type of glass produced, and the iron content of quartz sands determines the purity level.

The levels of aluminium, magnesium, calcium, and potassium have an impact on melting characteristics and must be kept low. Furthermore, if the titanium and chromium minerals are fine enough, they may melt and colour the glass. Another significant criterion for glass manufacturers is grain size and grading.

Finer grains are more likely to contain iron oxide and refractory mineral grains, whereas bigger grains melt more slowly and stay unmelted, resulting in inclusions in the final product.

2.) Quartz Sand for Metal Casting

In iron and steel foundries, large amounts of abrasive quartz sand are used to form moulds and cores for metal castings. Abrasive quartz sand is a good refractory material for a variety of industrial operations due to the heat resistance of quartz (melting point = 1.710 0 C).

The qualities of the quartz sand used determine the quality of the castings produced. A foundry mould must be able to endure the high temperatures of molten metal without causing damage to the metal-sand contact surface.

Quartz sand must meet parameters such as permeability, grain fineness, moisture, binding strength, and refractoriness in order to produce high-quality castings.

3.) Quartz Sand for Adhesive

Quartz Sand Abrasives are used as a reinforcing filler and extender in its purest forms, such as micro-silica, flour, or precipitate. Two of the most essential characteristics of quartz sand are particle size and surface area.

The quartz sand must have a precise granulometry and be devoid of clay or schist particles; in addition, limestone particles cannot account for more than 30% of the sand.

Quartz sand, in the form of flour or tripoli, is used as a filler and extender in paint formulas to make the paint more chemical resistant. Because of its hardness, scrubbing and wear resistance of surface layers are also improved.

The use of quartz increases the paint's longevity and flowability. Furthermore, abrasive quartz sand in these ultra-fine particle sizes has a wide range of uses in silicone and industrial rubber, where it is used for reinforcing. Quartz sand has outstanding adhesion, tear resistance, and heat ageing qualities in tyre linings.
