Applications
Glass Industry
Silica sand makes up 70–75% of glass batches; its grain size, chemistry, and mineral properties are crucial for producing high-quality container, float, borosilicate, fiber, and solar glass worldwide applications consistently.
Foundry
Foundry-grade silica sand is vital for molds and cores in metal casting, requiring high purity, uniform sizing, silica content, and thermal resistance for automotive, railways, aerospace, defense, and machinery applications.
Abrasive
Silica sand is an abrasive scouring agent used for cleaning castings, removing paint and rust, cleaning machinery, renovating stone walls, and precise sandblasting, engraving, and surface restoration across construction metal.
Construction & Chemicals
Chemical industries use high-purity silica sand for sodium silicate, silica gel, and silicon materials, while construction uses it in cement, asphalt, sealants, coatings, and durable weather-resistant industrial applications worldwide manufacturing.
Refractory
Silica is vital for ceramics and refractories, improving strength, durability, and thermal resistance, used in tiles, sanitary ware, furnaces, kilns, steel, glass, cement industries for reliable high-temperature performance applications worldwide.
Paints and Coating
Silica sand enhances paints and coatings with brightness, color consistency, UV resistance, and durability, acting as filler improving adhesion, crack resistance, weather protection, tint retention, and long-lasting performance for surfaces.
Hydraulic Fracturing/Frac Sand
Hydraulic fracturing uses high-pressure fluid with silica frac sand to expand rock cracks, requiring rounded, strong grains with 98% SiO₂, uniform 20–40 mesh, ensuring permeability, durability, and efficient oil-gas production.
Boiler Bed Material
Boiler Bed Silica Sand, 98%+ SiO₂, ensures uniform fluidized bed combustion of coal, biomass, and waste, offering thermal resistance, optimal particle size, reduced emissions, and improved boiler efficiency up to 1700°C.
Water Filter Sand
Silica sand is an efficient filtration media for water, pools, and sewage, trapping impurities. High purity, uniform size, hardness, and customizable blends ensure reliable, long-lasting performance for industrial and residential systems.
Golf Course/Sports Turf
Mangal Group supplies high-quality silica sand for sports turf, offering shock absorption, drainage, durability, playability, and eco-friendly safety for tennis, football, basketball, and multi-sports fields with consistent quality.
Electronics and Semiconductor
Silica sand is crucial for producing high-purity silicon used in semiconductors, microchips, and integrated circuits, supporting smartphones, computers, automotive electronics, and advanced systems amid growing AI, IoT, and computing demand.
Color Sand
Coloured silica sand enhances décor, terrazzo, stone paint, crafts, mosaics, and sand art. Available 100–2000 microns, it offers vibrant shades, durability, and customizable solutions for professional and DIY decorative projects.
