What is silica sand?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Siliceous sand is a natural mineral. It consists mainly of silicon dioxide<\/strong> (SiO\u2082)<\/a>, formed by the weathering of quartz. To qualify for this designation, sand must contain at least 95 % of SiO\u2082.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its high purity gives it remarkable chemical inertness. It does not react with its surroundings. This stability explains its role in applications as varied as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
