Premium Coarse Silica Sand – Industrial-Grade High-Quality Material from Egypt
La PACE Minerals proudly offers superior quality Coarse Silica Sand, carefully sourced and processed to meet the strictest industry standards. Our coarse silica sand serves as an indispensable raw material across various industrial sectors including construction, foundry, glass manufacturing, and filtration.
What is Coarse Silica Sand?
Coarse silica sand consists of larger grain particles of silicon dioxide (SiO₂), typically ranging from 0.5 mm to 3.0 mm in size. These larger grains provide excellent structural properties that are highly valued in industrial processes requiring enhanced mechanical strength and filtration capabilities.
At La PACE Minerals, our coarse silica sand is mined from rich Egyptian deposits known for their natural purity and consistent grain size. After extraction, the sand undergoes thorough washing, screening, and drying to ensure optimal physical and chemical properties.
Key Industrial Applications of Coarse Silica Sand
- Construction Industry
Coarse silica sand is a critical ingredient in concrete, mortar mixes, and specialty building materials. Its robust grain size helps improve:
– Structural integrity and durability of concrete
– Workability and bonding in mortar and plaster
– Resistance to shrinkage and cracking in cementitious applications
- Foundry and Metal Casting
In foundry operations, coarse silica sand is used as a molding material to create durable molds for metal casting. The sand’s thermal stability and coarse texture allow for precise molding and easy sand removal post-casting.
- Glass Manufacturing
While finer silica sand is common in glassmaking, coarse silica sand finds applications in certain specialty glass products and in the production of fiberglass, where specific grain sizes are required to optimize melting rates and glass properties.
- Water Filtration
Coarse silica sand acts as a filtration medium in water treatment plants. Its large grain size facilitates effective filtration by trapping suspended particles while allowing water flow. It is widely used in:
– Municipal water filtration systems
– Industrial wastewater treatment
– Swimming pool filtration
- Hydraulic Fracturing (Proppants)
Coarse silica sand is often used as a proppant in hydraulic fracturing to keep fractures open in subterranean rock formations, enhancing oil and gas extraction efficiency. The sand’s hardness and grain size distribution are crucial for maintaining fracture permeability under high pressure.
