Silica Sand

General Properties

Silica sand is natural sand that extracted from the quarries in Egypt. It is classified into various categories according to the requirements of each industry with having high purity, high whiteness, and high brightness. Silica sand is free of any organic contaminants and free of any harmful solutions where sieves are used to provide the desired particle size distribution.
