Two of our silica sand’s most prominent applications are glass making and grout. Simplot silica sand’s high purity provides the clarity required for windows and food packaging. In fact, all of the exterior windows in the Simplot Boise Headquarter building are made from silica sand mined in Overton.
Our sand is more than 99% pure silica dioxide, which makes it well-suited to a large number of applications, from glass production to building products like grout, cement and insulation. With a shipping point in Overton, Nevada, Simplot is ideally located to deliver service in India.
Also known as silicon dioxide, every unit of white Silica Powder contains two oxygen and single silicon atoms. It is naturally present in quartz mineral. It is used as one of the key ingredients of glass and sand. This mineral is known for its excellent hardness level. It tends to burn quickly when comes in contact with flame or heat. Water is not adequate to extinguish this powder. This low toxin content based powder can integrate with different sorts of polymers and molecules. This mineral can withstand high temperature. It is burst protected and has excellent isolation properties.

High Quality Quartz Silica chips are available in all grades, produced as our factory in Balasinor, which are used in industries as an abrasive in stone cutting & sandblasting. It is also used in oil drilling, glass grinding, fiber glass, solid surface, paint stripping, micro graving and micro blasting.
High Grade Silica Chips Specification
It effectively removes suspended solids, impurities, and particles from water, making it suitable for drinking water and industrial processes. 5. Construction: Coarse-grain silica sand is used in construction applications such as concrete and mortar mixtures, as well as in the production of bricks and blocks.
kaolin, soft white clay that is an essential ingredient in the manufacture of china and porcelain and is widely used in the making of paper, rubber, paint, and many other products. Kaolin is named after the hill in China (Kao-ling) from which it was mined for centuries. Samples of kaolin were first sent to Europe by a French Jesuit missionary around 1700 as examples of the materials used by the Chinese in the manufacture of porcelain.
Kaolin is used extensively in the ceramic industry, where its high fusion temperature and white burning characteristics makes it particularly suitable for the manufacture of whiteware (china), porcelain, and refractories. The absence of any iron, alkalies, or alkaline earths in the molecular structure of kaolinite confers upon it these desirable ceramic properties.
