what is quartz powder?

Quartz is a hard, crystalline mineral composed of silicon and oxygen atoms (silica dioxide). It is one of the most common minerals in nature.

It is an essential component of igneous and metamorphic rocks. It can be found in various colors based on the impurities present within its atomic lattice.

Laboratory Crucibles are the containers that are used for holding chemicals when chemical reactions and tests are performed. Quartz crucibles provide low expansion, thermal shock resistance and excellent dimensional stability. They are also chemically inert.

Glass Manufacturing is another important use of quartz. The primary process is the production of glass from silica dioxide, a colorless crystalline compound which must be 99.9% exceptionally pure to be called glass.

Ceramic Tiles are another application of quartz. The presence of a silica-based ingredient helps to make ceramic tiles that are durable, strong and resistant to wear and tear.

ECC Mixes for Construction

Quartz powder can be added to concrete to make it more durable. When mixed with water and cement, it can increase the strength of the concrete by up to ten percent.

Aggregates for Concrete

Quartz can also be used as an aggregate in the production of concrete. It is added to many types of concrete products to improve their strength and durability.

It can also be used in the manufacture of floor tiles and masonry veneers. It also has a high gloss finish that resists stains and can be easily cleaned.
