Industrial sand is used in GRC industries
as primary component, due to Silica's High boiling point, High
heat resistance, Low co-efficient of expansion, Low thermal
conductivity and shrinkage. Other two properties of
silica are also involved in this industry such as High
porosity and High resistance to chemicals. In glass
reinforcement cement fibres are used as reinforced cement and
polymer resins are used as composing material. Fibres are made
from silica compound by melting it up to 1710' C. |
