Common Quartz Filter Sand for Water Treatment and Foundry Applications

Our Common Quartz Filter Sand is a naturally occurring, high-silica material that serves as a robust and cost-effective solution for two core industries: water filtration and metal casting. Mined and processed to deliver reliable performance, its high SiO₂ content (≥99%) and specific particle hardness make it an ideal choice for purifying water and creating precise molds in foundries.


Key Specifications & Benefits:

High Purity: SiO₂ ≥ 99%, Fe₂O₃ ≤ 0.02% - ensures reliable performance and chemical stability.

Exceptional Hardness: Mohs scale of 7 - provides superior resistance to abrasion and wear.

Wide Size Range: From 2 to 2500 mesh, with 20-40 mesh and 40-80 mesh as popular standards.

Chemical Inertness: Resistant to most acids and alkalis (except hydrofluoric acid) for long-term durability.

Cost-Effective: The most economical choice for bulk applications and large-scale projects.


Primary Applications:

Water Filtration Media:

Potable Water Treatment Plants

Wastewater and Sewage Treatment Systems

Industrial Water Filtration

Swimming Pool Filters

Foundry Sand:

Molding and Cores for Ferrous and Non-Ferrous Castings

As a cost-effective base sand in sand mixtures


Packaging:

Flexible Packaging: Available in 25kg bags, 50kg bags, or 1-ton jumbo bags to suit your handling and logistical requirements.

Bulk Supply: We can support large-scale project needs with consistent quality and reliable containerized shipping.
