Our High-Purity Silica Sand

Markets We Can Supply

GLASS MANUFACTURING

For optimal glass production, utilizing high-purity silica sand in manufacturing is critical. The purity of the sand greatly impacts the end-product quality.

Higher purity sand provides more control over the clarity, strength, and even color of the final product. The in-depth processing of our high-purity silica sands delivers consistent product chemistry so manufacturers can produce batches with predictability.

SOLAR

As solar costs decrease and efficiencies improve worldwide, the demand for high-quality glass used in solar panels is rising. This industry requires high-purity quartz to produce highly effective panels for efficient solar capture.

SEMICONDUCTOR

Semiconductor production is essential in today’s world, powering devices like phones, computers, appliances, and many components in cars. The semiconductor industry demands the highest purity quartz sand. Ultra-high purity quartz sand with minimal impurities ensures wafers maintain optimal electrical conductivity. Precise control of particle size distribution is crucial for consistent melting in the glass furnace.

FIBER OPTICS

Fiber optic cables are flexible, transparent strands made from pure silica glass and are critical to the telecommunications industry’s development of high-speed internet infrastructure.

FILLERS

Quartz sand is commonly used as a filler across various industries, including applications like paints, epoxy molding compounds, engineered stone, and synthetic granite.
