Industrial Silica Sand 99.8% Purity

High-purity silica sand with 99.8% SiO2 content, sourced from quartz deposits and minimally processed for uniformity. Classified under HTS 2505.10.5000 as 'other' silica sands, excluding metal-bearing sands, suitable for glass manufacturing and foundry applications. It meets the natural sands definition without exceeding purity thresholds for chemical products.

Quartz Foundry Sand AFS 50-55

Naturally occurring quartz sand sieved to AFS 50-55 grain fineness for metal casting molds. Falls under HTS 2505.10.5000 as 'other' silica/quartz sands, distinguished by natural origin and lack of chemical binders. Ideal for green sand molding in iron and steel foundries.

Colored Silica Sand for Landscaping

Natural silica sand naturally colored by mineral deposits (e.g., red from iron oxides), used in decorative landscaping and playground surfaces. Classified in HTS 2505.10.5000 per hierarchy for 'other' colored silica sands, explicitly including naturally colored varieties excluding metal-bearing types.

Quartz Sand for Water Filtration

Washed quartz sand graded 0.5-1.0mm for municipal water treatment filters. HTS 2505.10.5000 covers this as 'other' natural silica/quartz sands, with washing not constituting sufficient processing to shift headings.

Glass Grade Silica Sand

Low-iron silica sand (<0.02% Fe2O3) from natural deposits for container glass production. Fits HTS 2505.10.5000 as 'other' silica sands, with iron content verified below metal-bearing thresholds.

Playground Silica Sand
