Silica Sand Suppliers in India
Silica sand acts as a filler material, reducing shrinkage and providing stability to the ceramic body during firing. As trusted silica sand suppliers in India, Expolica Ceramics delivers consistent quality material. High silica content promotes the formation of glassy phase, enhancing the final product’s mechanical strength and translucency, while helping control thermal expansion of ceramics.

Silica Sand Manufacturers in Gujarat
Expolica Ceramics extracts high-purity silica sand from our five strategically located mines. As established silica sand exporters in India, we deliver consistent SiO2 content with optimized grain distribution for tiles, sanitaryware, and advanced ceramic applications nationwide.
- Exceptional Silica Purity : Our silica sand achieves SiO2 content exceeding 99.2% through careful deposit selection and washing processes. This exceptional purity ensures maximum thermal stability, minimal color interference.
- Graded Particle Size: Available in fine (100-200 mesh), medium (40-100 mesh), and coarse (20-40 mesh) grades tailored to specific ceramic processes. Fine grades improve surface finish and translucency in porcelain, medium grades provide balanced properties for wall tiles.
- Rounded Grain Morphology: Our silica sand features naturally rounded grains rather than angular particles, improving packing density and reducing void spaces in ceramic bodies. Rounded morphology enhances workability during forming.
- Minimal Iron Content: Iron oxide levels remain below 0.05% and heavy metals are virtually absent through rigorous beneficiation. Ultra-low impurities prevent discoloration, specking, and glaze defects in white or light-colored ceramics.
- Consistent Moisture Standards: All silica sand undergoes multi-stage washing to remove clay, silt, and organic contamination, followed by controlled drying to maintain moisture below 0.3%. Clean, dry sand improves mixing efficiency.
- Certified Quality Documentation: Every shipment includes comprehensive test certificates documenting silica content, particle size analysis, iron levels, moisture content, and loss on ignition values.
