Description

Quartz Sand is a hard, durable, graded mineral material available in different particle-size distributions for filtration and industrial applications. Starke supplies selected quartz/silica sand grades for water-treatment filters and can offer size-specific material for other uses including resin flooring, coatings and decorative/aquarium applications.

Because the required grain size and quality parameters differ by end use, customers should select the application first and then choose the appropriate available particle size.
