Our Silica is processed keeping in mind international quality standards and is offered at a very affordable price to our clients in India and abroad which makes us one of the best suppliers of Silica in the industry. Solar owns several mines in South India and can get into long term material supply contracts to companies in India and abroad. we use the latest technology and our Silica is free from all kinds of impurities. For our buyer’s convenience, we supply Silica as LUMPS, SAND and POWDER in different mesh size ranging from 2-300.
Industrial Application of our Silica SiO2- Silica Sand is used in buildings and roads in the form of Portland cement, concrete, mortar and sand stone. It is also used in grinding and polishing glass and stone
- In foundry molds, in manufacturing of glass, ceramics, silicon carbide, ferrosilicon and silicones
- As a refractory material and as gemstones. Silica gel is often used as a desiccant to remove moisture.
Glass:
Silica is the major ingredient in virtually all types of glass. The principal glass products include containers (bottles and jars), flat glass (windows, mirrors, vehicle glazing etc.), lighting glass (light bulbs, fluorescent tubes, etc.), tableware (lead crystal, drinking glasses etc.), TV tubes and screens, decorative glass, fiber glass, optical glass and vacuum flasks.
Ceramics:
Silica that has been ground to fine size is an ingredient of most clay bodies and is a major constituent of ceramic glazes. Typical everyday products include tableware, sanitary ware, ornaments and wall and floor tiles.

Sports and leisure:
Silica sand is used for equestrian surfaces, in artificial turf, golf course root zones and dressings, football and cricket and other pitches and as play sands
Chemical Production:
Silicon-based chemicals are the foundation of thousands of everyday applications ranging from food processing to soap and dye production. In this case, SiO2 is reduced to silicon metal by coke in an arc furnace, to produce the Si precursor of other chemical processes. Industrial sand is the main component in chemicals such as sodium silicate, silicon tetrachloride and silicon gels.
Metal Production:
Industrial sand plays a critical role in the production of a wide variety of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. In metal production, silica sand operates as a flux to lower the melting point and viscosity of the slags to make them more reactive and efficient. Lump silica is used either alone or in conjunction with lime to achieve the desired base/acid ratio required for purification.
Metal Casting:
Industrial sand is an essential part of the ferrous and non-ferrous foundry industry. Metal parts ranging from engine blocks to sink faucets are cast in a sand and clay mold to produce the external shape, and a resin bonded core that creates the desired internal shape. Silica’s high fusion point (1760°C) and low rate of thermal expansion produce stable cores and molds compatible with all pouring temperatures and alloy systems.
Filtration:
Closely sized grades of silica sand is the principal filtration medium used by the water industry to extract solids from wastewater.
