    Industry-Specific Benefits


    Solar Glass Manufacturing

    • 91% light transmission ensures maximum solar energy absorption.

    • Ultra-low iron content (Fe₂O₃ ≤ 0.015%) protects against green tinting and discoloration.
    • Ideal for photovoltaic panels, mirrors, and architectural glazing.

    Foundry and Casting

    • ±1 AFS tolerance reduces casting defects by 30% and improves mold integrity.
    • Consistent refractoriness and thermal conductivity.
    • Improved compaction performance in automated systems.

    Ceramic & Kiln Applications

    • LOI < 0.05% prevents blistering during firing and improves surface finish.
    • Zero organic content eliminates unexpected glaze reactions.

    Filtration and Waterjet Cutting

    • Controlled sphericity and uniform particle sizing ensure optimal flow rate in filtration systems.
    • High hardness and cleanliness guarantee precision in abrasive cutting.

    Purification and Processing Protocol


     We go beyond washing:

    • 3-Stage Magnetic Separation
      Removes ferromagnetic and weakly magnetic impurities including iron oxides.
    • Attrition Scrubbing
      Mechanically eliminates clay coatings and soft contaminants without affecting silica content.
    • Air Drying and Sieving
      Stabilizes moisture and ensures uniform distribution of particle sizes.
    • Inline Optical Inspection
      Rejects color variations and oversized grains.

    Each batch is double-assayed for chemical composition and particle size distribution (PSD) prior to dispatch.
