Silica Sand is a high-purity quartz sand widely used in construction, oil and gas, foundry, glass manufacturing, and industrial applications. Known for its strength, chemical stability, and uniform particle size, silica sand plays a critical role in multiple industries across the UAE.
At Lokhandwala Trading L.L.C., we supply high-quality Silica Sand sourced from reliable producers to meet industrial standards and project-specific requirements. Our bulk supply capabilities ensure consistent availability for large-scale operations.
What Is Silica Sand
Silica Sand consists primarily of silicon dioxide (SiO2) derived from quartz. It is processed and graded to achieve specific particle sizes and purity levels required for different industrial applications.
Due to its hardness, chemical inertness, and high melting point, silica sand is suitable for demanding environments and high-temperature processes.
Key Properties of Silica Sand
High silica content
Excellent hardness and durability
High melting point
Chemical stability
Uniform grain size distribution
Low impurity levels
These properties make silica sand a versatile material for both industrial and construction use.
