Quartz Grit Application:

1. Stone cutting
2. Oil drilling & Petroleum: In the petroleum industry sand slurries are forced down oil and gas wells under very high pressures in a process known as hydraulic fracturing. This high pressure fractures the reservoir rocks and the sandy slurry injects into the fractures. The durable sand grains hold the fractures open after the pressure is released. These open fractures facilitate the flow of natural gas into the well bore.
3. Solid surface
4. Paint stripping
5. Glass grinding
6. Micro graving
7. Artificial Quartz Stone
8. Foundry & refractory: Quartz is very resistant to both chemicals and heat. It is therefore often used as a foundry sand. With a melting temperature higher than most metals it can be used for the molds and cores of common foundry work. Refractory brick are often made of quartz sand because of its high heat resistance. Quartz sand is also used as a flux in the smelting of metals.
9. These sands are also used in recreation on golf courses, volleyball courts, baseball fields, children’s sand boxes and beaches.
10. Filter Media / Landscaping
11. Carefully sized quartz grains are used as filter media and roofing granules.
