(1888PressRelease) November 28, 2012 - One of the most common types of sand available in the natural resources of the globe is silica sand. There are many suppliers of silica sand throughout this world who collect quartz crystals from the sand dunes, beaches etc., and process into different types and grades of silica sand which is used in various industries for making glass, creating moulds, castings etc.

Quartz crystal is the most common mineral on this earth and silica sand is made up of broken down quartz crystals. Another name of silica is silicon dioxide also termed as SiO2 which includes quartz as a specific latticed structure. Thus, silica sand is the form of quartz which has been broken down into tiny granules. Most of the time, these tiny granules are found in non-tropical regions of the world which are collected and processed into the silica sand of different grades and different sizes. The silica sand has different uses in various industries as briefed below:-
