Common industrial uses for silica sand are due to its important internal properties such as its hardness, chemical resistance, high melting point, piezoelectricity, pyroelectricity, and transparency.
Their main use is filtering for purification and purification of water and due to their hardness they are used for the manufacture of bleaches, industrial abrasives and sandblasting.
It is a very important raw material in the composition of the formulas of detergents, paints, concretes and special mortars, and they constitute the basic raw material for obtaining silicon, as well as the basis for the manufacture of silica refractories and model sands. , given its high melting point.
