Silica Sand -16/32 is a high-quality, naturally occurring sand primarily composed of silicon dioxide (SiO₂). This specific mesh size range (16 to 32) offers a medium-coarse granule, making it perfect for applications that require optimal filtration, uniform grain structure, and high mechanical strength. It is processed to strict quality standards to ensure purity, consistency, and durability.

Key Features:

Mesh Size: 16/32 (medium-coarse grade)

High Purity: Typically ≥ 98.5% SiO₂

Hardness: Mohs scale 7 — highly resistant to abrasion and wear

Chemically Inert: Stable in most chemical environments

Uniform Grain Size: For consistent performance in filtration and industrial use

Washed & Dried: Low moisture content and free from impurities

Applications:

✅ Water Filtration: Widely used in pressure filters and multimedia filtration systems

✅ Foundry Casting: Suitable for molding and core-making in metal casting

✅ Construction: Ideal as a coarse filler in flooring compounds, grouts, and mortars

✅ Abrasives: Used in sandblasting and surface prep due to its hardness and grain shape

✅ Sports & Landscaping: Applied in synthetic turf, golf bunkers, and sports field leveling
