Quartz Sand

Quartz sand is a natural mineral with high purity containing silicon dioxide (SiO₂). It is cleaned, filtered, and classified into different granule sizes depending on the application. It is widely used in industry, construction, paints, flooring systems, artificial turf coverings, and filtration.
