Silica Sand is the primary structural
component in a wide variety of building and construction
products. Whole grain silica is put to use in flooring
compounds, mortars, specialty cements, stucco, roofing
shingles, skid resistant surfaces and asphalt mixtures to
provide packing density and flexural strength without
adversely affecting the chemical properties of the binding
system. Ground silica performs as functional extender to add
durability, anti corrosion and weathering properties in epoxy
based compounds, sealants and caulks. |
