1.Fused silica sand Chem&Size minerals fused silica sand is made of fused silica ingot/lumps by hammer crusher and impact crusher. fused silica ingot/lumps is produced by melting high purity natural silica sand(quartz sand) at 1800-2200ºC 12 hours. In the fusing process, the crystalline phase of silica sand transforms into amorphous phase. After cooling, Fused silica ingot is made out with high purity amorphous silicon oxide. Fused silica ingot is separated into 5-10cm lumps Grade A, Grade B and Grade C according to the black point size. 

2.Fused silica Applications: 

High volume stability,high purity but low volumetric expansion makes fused silica sand a very useful and verstile material for refractory applications or other highly cyclical applications. Chem&size Minerals fused silica sand has an near zero thermal expansion coefficient,consistent chemistry and carefully controlled particle size distribution.Fused silica sand are designed for use in refractory,flow control/continuous casting,investment casting,precision casting,lost-wax process,technical thermal ceramic and other special applications.Fused silica powder has very high electrical resitivity and low thermal conductivity,so it used as filler in epoxy molding compounds for semi-conductors and fusion bounded epoxy powder coastings.

3.Applications Details Product: to make crucibles that produce solar cells board in the photo-voltaic industry. Fused silica powder is used to make rollers, castables, mortars, gunning mixtures and forming tools in the glass industry,make technical ceramic in the thermal resistance industry,to make ceramic slurry in investment and to make Acidic acid refractory,Fused silica precast shapes,Fused silica big blocks and fused silica castables.
