Silicone, or more accurately silica dioxide SiO2, is one of the most abundant compounds on the Earth's surface and is most prominent as Granular Quartz Lumps. Silicon dioxide occurs naturally like sand or rock, and when it melts, the resulting product is called Fused Quartz. If silicon dioxide is synthetically derived, the material is often referred to as Fused Silica. Fused Quartz is very pure, has high chemical resistance, good thermal shock resistance, and is very strong in compression. Its low coefficient of thermal expansion is ideal for mirrors and optical circles. It is used for the manufacture of transparent, insulators for electronic applications, and semiconductors at wavelengths from 0.2 to 3.5 microns.
Quartz Color Granules is a natural product that offers a solid, durable and decorative appearance that makes resinous epoxy, polyakartic, polyurea and urethane flooring safe as well as ergonomic and decorative.
“Quartz Colored Granules are made up of the finest uniformly shaped and sized quartz granules in the World. This unique product is brilliantly coated with a superior resin system and high quality colorless pigments to provide optimum durability and extreme performance in the harshest environments.”
Quartz Granule is 99.5 percent pure silica;
Where to Use Quartz Granule:
Granular Quartz Lumps have a multitude of uses depending on the degree of purity. Grades Granular Quartz Lumps are used in the manufacture of glass, optical fibers and ceramics and
