Silica-Abrasives

One of the most common uses of silica sand is in abrasives, Due to its round and angular varieties, it is commonly used as a mineral abrasive for industrial blasting. Silica sand is commonly used for abrasive blasting where reclaiming is not feasible, such as in unconfined abrasive blasting operations. Sand has a rather high breakdown rate, which can result in substantial dust generation. Silica Sandblasting was a commonly used method of removing impurities from surfaces; this is because sand particles are almost the same size and the edges of the particles are sharp, hence making this type of grit efficient in abrasive blasting.
