Quartz Sand
High-purity (SiO₂ ≈ 99.8%), low-iron, bright white-grey angular quartz sand. Supplied in 13 fractions from 0.4 mm to 26 mm — from water treatment and filtration to epoxy floors and construction chemicals.
What is Quartz Sand?
Quartz sand is a high-purity sand with an SiO₂ content of approximately 99.8%, low iron, and bright white-grey angular grains. At our facilities in the Trakya region it is washed, dried and screened, and supplied in 13 fractions between 0.4 mm and 26 mm. It is used wherever purity and grain stability matter — from drinking-water treatment to pool and industrial filters, epoxy floors and construction chemicals.
Quartz sand consists of grains made almost entirely of the mineral quartz (SiO₂). Typical values for our product are SiO₂ ≈ 99.8%, Fe₂O₃ ≈ 0.019% and Al₂O₃ ≈ 0.10%; Mohs hardness is 7 and density 2.65 g/cm³. The low iron content minimises the risk of impurities leaching into water and gives consistent results in colour-sensitive applications. Fine fractions (0.4–1.2 mm) are used in filtration and flooring, while coarse fractions (above 2 mm) serve as support layers in filter beds.

Fractions & sieve analysis
Produced in 13 controlled gradations; grain ranges are listed for each fraction below.
Fraction
13 fractionsWhere is it used?
Its high purity and low iron content create a safe, long-lasting filtration layer in drinking-water treatment.
In pool filters and industrial process-water filters, its angular grains deliver efficient particle retention.
Works as the fine filtration layer in multimedia filters together with media such as anthracite and garnet.
Coarse fractions above 2 mm are used as the support layer carrying the fine media at the bottom of filter beds.
Its bright white-grey colour and narrow grain range give a consistent look in epoxy broadcast floors and decorative surfaces.
Used as an aggregate with controlled grading in dry-mix mortars, repair mortars and construction-chemical formulations.
About Quartz Sand
What is quartz sand?
Quartz sand is sand made of grains consisting almost entirely of the mineral quartz (SiO₂). Our product has SiO₂ ≈ 99.8%, Fe₂O₃ ≈ 0.019%, a Mohs hardness of 7 and a density of 2.65 g/cm³.
What is the difference between quartz sand and silica sand?
Both are SiO₂-based and are often confused. The real difference lies in purity, iron content and processing: the term quartz sand usually emphasises higher purity and crystalline quartz grains. See our blog post “The Difference Between Silica Sand and Quartz Sand” for a detailed comparison.
Which grain sizes is quartz sand available in?
It is supplied in 13 fractions, from 0.4–0.8 mm up to 13.2–26 mm. Fine fractions are used in filtration and flooring, coarse fractions in filter support layers; other ranges can be considered on request.
Is quartz sand used in water treatment?
Yes. Thanks to its high purity and low iron content it is used in drinking-water treatment and as the fine filtration layer in multimedia filters; the product is supplied within the scope of TS EN 12904.
