    Construction Industry

    In the construction industry, washed silica sand is indispensable. It is used in concrete mixes to enhance strength, durability, and consistency. Key applications include:

    • Micro-Silica Additives: Used to produce high-strength and lightweight concrete.
    • Mortar and Cement Mixes: Ensures smooth finishing and bonding.
    • Asphalt Mixes: Provides stability and flexibility.

    Glass Manufacturing

    GATC’s washed silica sand has a high silica content and low iron quantity, making it ideal for producing various glass products, including:

    • Flat Glass: Windows, glass doors, and architectural glass.
    • Container Glass: Bottles and jars for beverages, food, and pharmaceuticals.
    • Specialty Glass: Laboratory equipment, optical glass, and fiberglass.

    Foundry Industry

    In foundry applications, washed silica sand is utilized for its superior refractory properties, essential for molding and casting processes:

    • Casting Molds: High temperature tolerance and smooth finishes.
    • Core Sand: Enhances mold rigidity and strength.
    • Refractory Sand: Used in high-temperature applications due to its thermal properties.

    Water Filtration

    Washed silica sand is integral for water filtration and purification systems, renowned for removing impurities and contaminants effectively:

    • Filtration Media: Ensures efficient and rapid filtration in water treatment plants.
    • Pool Filters: Maintains water clarity and cleanliness.
    • Aquarium Filtration: Promotes a healthy aquatic environment.

    Specifications and Technical Details

    Physical Properties

    1. Silica Content (SiO₂): Typically ranges between 95% - 99%, ensuring high purity.
    2. Grain Size Distribution: Classified into various particle sizes as per industry requirements (0.1mm to 3.35mm).
    3. Shape: Predominantly round to sub-round grains facilitating better packing and uniformity.
    4. Color: White to off-white, depending on the specific deposit characteristics.
    5. Density: Varies between 2.5 to 2.7 g/cm³.
    6. Hardness: 7 on the Mohs scale, indicating high durability.

    Chemical Properties

    1. Iron Content (Fe₂O₃): Low iron content (typically <0.1%) to cater to glass and foundry industries.
    2. Aluminum Oxide (Al₂O₃): Minimal traces ensuring the sand's purity and performance.
    3. Trace Minerals: Negligible quantities of other minerals impeding product performance enhancement.

    Processing and Quality Control

    Mining and Extraction

    The silica sand used by GATC originates from carefully selected deposits known for their high-quality reserves, predominantly found in India. The extraction process involves:

    • Selective Quarrying: Ensuring consistency and minimizing environmental impact.
    • Sampling and Testing: Routine testing for SiO₂ content and other impurities.

    Washing and Rinsing

    The washed silica sand undergoes a comprehensive cleaning process encompassing: - Hydraulic Washing: High-pressure water jets dislodge clay, silt, and debris. - Rinsing: Further removal of soluble contaminants ensuring the sand's purity. - Dewatering: Extracts excess water, preparing the sand for drying or direct use.

    Classification and Separation

    GATC’s advanced infrastructure classifies the sand into specific grain sizes, meeting precise industrial requisites: - Screening: Utilizes vibratory screens for accurate size segregation. - Magnetic Separation: Removes any ferromagnetic particles ensuring ultra-high purity. - Air Classification: Achieves fine particle segregation for exacting quality standards in specialized industries.

    Packaging and Delivery

    Packaging options are tailored to meet varied customer needs and ensure safe, efficient handling. - Bulk Orders: Transported in large volumes, suitable for industrial applications. - Bagged Product: Available in different quantities (25 kg, 50 kg, and 1-ton jumbo bags), ensuring convenience and ease of use. - Customized Solutions: Packaging types and sizes can be tailored per client request, ensuring optimal storage and transportation
