Silica sand plays a crucial role in the sandblasting process due to its durability, sharpness, and cost-effectiveness. At Puresil India, we supply high-purity silica sand that meets industrial standards, ensuring superior performance and safety.

Why Silica Sand is Preferred in Sandblasting:

• High Hardness & Abrasiveness: Silica sand has a Mohs hardness of 7, making it an effective abrasive for removing rust, paint, and surface contaminants from metal and concrete surfaces.
• Consistent Grain Size: Uniformly graded silica sand ensures a controlled and even finish, improving surface preparation for coatings or further treatment.
• Natural Composition: Being a naturally occurring mineral, silica sand is chemically stable and resistant to breakdown, allowing for efficient reuse in some blasting systems.
• Cost-Effective: Compared to synthetic abrasives, silica sand remains a budget-friendly option for industrial and commercial sandblasting.

Applications:

• Cleaning metal surfaces before painting or coating
• Removing scale, rust, or old paint
• Texturizing concrete and stone surfaces
• Surface preparation in automotive and shipbuilding industries
