Quartz sand is an important industrial mineral raw material widely used in glass, casting, ceramics and refractory materials, metallurgy, construction, chemicals, plastics, rubber, abrasives and other industries.

Application field and use
1, glass

Main raw materials for flat glass, float glass, glass products (glass jars, glass bottles, glass tubes, etc.), optical glass, glass fiber, glass equipment, conductive glass, glass cloth and anti-radiation special glass

2, ceramic and refractory materials

Raw materials and glazes for porcelain, high silica bricks for kiln, ordinary silica bricks, and raw materials such as silicon carbide
3. Metallurgy

Raw materials or additives such as silicon metal, ferrosilicon alloy and silicon aluminum alloy, flux
4. Construction

Concrete, cementitious materials, road building materials, artificial marble, cement physical property testing materials (ie cement standard sand), etc.
5. Chemical industry

Raw materials such as silicon compounds and water glass, fillers for sulfuric acid towers, amorphous silica fine powder, etc.
6, machinery

Main raw materials for foundry sand, abrasive materials (blasting, hard grinding paper, sandpaper, abrasive cloth, etc.)
7, electronic

High-purity metal silicon, communication fiber, etc.
8, rubber, plastic

Filler (can improve wear resistance)
9, paint

Filler (can improve the weatherability of the coating)
10, aviation, aerospace

Its intrinsic molecular chain structure, crystal shape and lattice change law make it have high temperature resistance, small thermal expansion coefficient, high insulation, corrosion resistance, piezoelectric effect, resonance and its unique optical properties.

Quartz is also a general name for crystal, because it can be used as a crystal mineral, which is produced by quartz cutting. It is the same composition identification. The difference is that crystal is a gem-grade material, and quartz is dyed. Most of them can only be used as imitations of jade, such as Xiuyan jade and Dushan jade.
