Silica, commonly found as quartz, is a natural mineral composed of silicon dioxide (SiO₂), combining one part silicon with two parts oxygen. Because of its exceptional durability and chemical stability, silica is the most abundant mineral on Earth’s surface. Furthermore, with a hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale, it actively resists mechanical and chemical weathering, making it one of the most versatile and reliable natural materials.
It is widely valued for its:
- Durability: Excellent resistance to physical wear and tear.
- Chemical Inertness: Stable when in contact with most substances.
- Unique Properties: Heat resistance, electrical conductivity, and aesthetic appeal.
We offer Quartz Silica and Silica Sand in a variety of particle sizes and grain sizes (16/32, 30/80, 60/120, and more) to cater to diverse customer requirements.

Applications and Uses
1. Paints and Coatings
Quartz Silica plays a key role in improving paint and coating formulations by:
- Acting as a matting agent, creating matte or satin finishes and reducing gloss.
- Serving as a thickening and reinforcing agent for high-performance coatings, enhancing mechanical strength and anti-sag properties.
2. Plastics and Polymers
Quartz Silica is indispensable in the plastics industry as:
- A reinforcing filler, enhancing hardness, tensile strength, and dimensional stability.
- A contributor to flame retardancy in plastic materials, ensuring better fire safety compliance.
3. Rubber Industry
In rubber manufacturing, Quartz Silica adds value through:
- Reinforcement, improving tensile strength, abrasion resistance, and tear resistance in products like tires, gaskets, and conveyor belts.
- Acting as an anti-blocking agent, preventing rubber surfaces from sticking together during storage or transit.
