Silica Sand Mesh 14-20

Silica Sand Mesh 14-20

Silica Sand Mesh 14-20 is a coarse-grade, high-purity silica sand with consistent particle sizes ranging from mesh 14 to 20. This type of silica sand is ideal for applications that require strong abrasion resistance, high structural integrity, and dependable filtration performance. Its hardness, uniformity, and low moisture content make it a preferred material across industries such as water treatment, construction, foundry, and abrasive blasting.

With more than 99% silica content and robust particle durability, Silica Sand Mesh 14-20 is engineered to meet industrial standards for heavy-duty applications. Whether used for cleaning metal surfaces or enhancing the performance of concrete, this sand delivers both strength and consistency.

Features

1. High silica content (≥99%) provides chemical purity and consistent quality

2. Mesh size 14–20 offers coarse, uniform granules for demanding applications

3. Low moisture content (≤0.5%) prevents clumping and enhances flowability

4. Hard-wearing particles with a Mohs hardness of 7 for abrasive and repeated use

5. Effective filtration for removing large impurities in water treatment systems

6. Light beige to off-white natural color suitable for both industrial and decorative use

Application
