Overview

We provide sustainable solutions of Silica Sand, Silica Flour, and Washed Silica Sand that suit the most demanding applications. With excellent filler and reinforcement properties, our products are suitable for coatings, sealants, and adhesives.

There are several uses for silica sand in the industrial and commercial sectors, from golf courses to glassmaking. Silica sand is a commercial and consumer product widely available from Alliance Silica.

Silica sand (often called industrial sand for this purpose) is the main structural component in several construction products. Flooring, mortars, cement, roofing shingles, asphalt, and other industrial materials use silica to improve durability and structural integrity.

Construction Materials

Silica sand (often called industrial sand for this purpose) is the main structural component in several construction products. Flooring, mortars, cement, roofing shingles, asphalt, and other industrial materials use silica to improve durability and structural integrity. As silica is resistant to weather, wear and corrosion, it is often used as a caulk or sealant.

Industrial Abrasives

Silica sand is a frequently used mineral abrasive in industrial blasting. However, blasting with silica sand can lead to hazardous dust, which can be harmful if inhaled. Proper precautions such as wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) and using dust control solutions can prevent exposure to dust.

Glassmaking

Silica sand is a crucial ingredient in the production of glass, and silica itself is the primary component in standard glass products, from windows to beer bottles. The purity of the silica sand used plays a crucial role in determining the final product’s colour, strength, and clarity.

Paints & Coatings

Silica sand plays an important role in enhancing the overall appearance and longevity of paints and coatings. By using silica fillers in the paint, it becomes more resistant to dirt and the colour becomes more vibrant. Silica sand’s oil-absorbing properties also make the coating more durable and resistant to wear and tear.
