Industrial silica sand
Overview
Silica sand is an industrial term used for sand or easily disaggregated sandstone, is primarily composed of quartz (SiO₂) and is one of the most versatile and essential materials used in a wide range of industrial applications. Sourced from our own mines located in the Jamshoro district of Sindh, Pakistan, our silica sand is known for its high purity, consistent grain structure, and exceptional physical properties.
Unique Processing & Sieving Technology
We have installed advanced sieving machinery equipped with an automated electrical and conveyor belt system, ensuring precision in particle size separation. This enables us to deliver silica granules in various sizes tailored to client specifications; dust-free, clean, and highly consistent.

Geological Background
Silica sand originates from the mechanical and chemical weathering of quartz-rich igneous and metamorphic rocks like granite. During this natural process, less stable minerals such as feldspar decompose, leaving behind quartz and zircon, which are then transported and deposited by water systems. Over time, wave and stream action refine and purify these deposits, forming the high-grade silica sand.
