Silica is a popular kind that can be found in the form of sand all over the planet. It can be used for a variety of purposes. Silica sand is used in industrial processes, as well as in the production of glass, fill, and moulds and castings.

Silica sand is made by crushing open-textured sandstone or quartzite, then washing and grading it to achieve the desired grain dispersion. Crushing, grinding, and scouring high-grade quartzite, quartz rocks, or white silica sand generate silica flour.
