Ground Silica is an essential component for the glaze and body formulations of all types of ceramic products, including tableware, sanitary ware and floor and wall tile. In the ceramic body, silica is the skeletal structure upon which clays and flux components attach.

The SiO2 contribution is used to modify thermal expansion, regulate drying, shrinkage, improve structural integrity and appearance. Silica Products are also used as the primary aggregate in both shape and monolithic type refractories to provide high temperature resistance to acidic attack in industrial furnaces.
