GLASSIL® high-purity glass sand is produced from whole grain crystalline silica sand. Consistent size distribution through accurate classification of coarse and fine grains offers glass
Annual global glass production has been estimated to be ca. 150 million tons during recent years, with container glass making up a 45–50% share and flat glass making up a 30–35% share of.
The main use of silica is for flat and container glass manufacture, with approximately 60% of each glass batch being silica sand. Another factor contributing to the increase in silica sand
Industrial sand and gravel, often called "silica," "silica sand," and "quartz sand," includes sands and gravels with high silicon dioxide (SiO 2) content. These
