Washed and graded silica sand for glass production, foundry casting, water filtration, and construction applications.
Our silica sand (silicon dioxide) deposits are found in Nigeria's coastal and inland formations, producing sand with high SiO₂ content and low impurity levels. The sand is washed, screened, and classified to meet the demanding specifications of glass, foundry, and industrial markets.
Silica sand is essential in glass manufacturing, metal casting, water filtration, and the burgeoning oil and gas proppant market. Our processing facility produces sand meeting AFS, API, and ISO standards for various industrial applications.
Certified quality parameters verified by independent laboratories.
