The Secret Ingredient
In every flawless stone surface, every high-gloss ceramic tile, every clear
glass
application, there
is an element that rarely gets noticed—but makes all the difference… that element is QUARTZ.
Our products are designed to be the quiet constant in complex industrial processes - the ingredient
that
ensures definite product performance.
With high purity, controlled particle size distribution, and reliable supply, our quartz solutions
support industries where strength, aesthetics, process stability, and chemical integrity are
critical.
Engineered Stones/Quartz Surfaces
The Industry Need
Manufacturers of artificial quartz slabs require high-purity aggregates
that offer depth, clarity, and absolute colour consistency to replicate natural stone like
marble or granite. Any contamination (black spots) results in slab rejection.
The Role of Quartz
Quartz makes up 90-93% of an engineered stone slab. It provides the hardness (7 Mohs),
scratch resistance, and the primary visual aesthetic of the surface.
Asian Quaartz Solution
We supply optically sorted Quartz Grits and Filler Powder (325 Mesh) optimized for slab
production.
- Zero Black Spots: Our Tomra (Norway) optical sorting
technology removes dark impurities, essential for 'Super White' and 'Calacatta' designs.
- Translucency: High-transparency grains create a "3D
depth effect" in the slab, mimicking natural stone veins.
- Resin Economy: Our engineered particle shapes reduce
resin absorption, lowering binder costs for manufacturers.
- Precision Sizing: Our Allgaier (Germany) screening
ensures no "oversize" particles that could cause surface defects.
Ceramics & Sanitaryware
The Industry Need
The ceramic industry requires raw materials that maintain structural integrity under high
firing temperatures and ensure the whiteness of the final body.
The Role of Quartz
Silica acts as a "skeleton" in the ceramic body to prevent warping during firing and
serves
as a primary glass-former in glazes and frits.
Asian Quaartz Solution
We provide Fine Quartz Powder (200, 300, 325 Mesh)
with
high chemical purity.
- Thermal Stability: High SiO₂ content (>99.5%)
prevents cracking and deformation during the kiln firing process.
- Whiteness: Low iron content ensures the bright
whiteness required for premium sanitaryware.
- Glaze Durability: Increases the hardness and
scratch
resistance of ceramic glazes.
- Consistent Fineness: Our air-classified powder
ensures excellent dispersion in the ceramic slurry.
Paints, Coatings & Inks
The Industry Need
The coatings industry demands functional fillers (extenders) that improve durability,
brightness, and texture without altering the chemical formulation or colour of the paint.
The Role of Quartz
Acts as reinforcing filler that enhances the mechanical properties of the paint film,
including scrub resistance and weatherability.
Asian Quaartz Solution
We provide We offer the SilQ™
Series and Micronized Powder (500
Mesh).
- Scrub Resistance: The natural hardness (7 Mohs) of
quartz significantly improves the abrasion resistance of wall paints.
- Brightness: High L-value (>96) ensures clean, bright
colors and reduces the need for expensive titanium dioxide (TiO₂).
- Sheen Control: Engineered particle sizing helps
control gloss levels in semi-gloss and matte finishes.
- Weatherability: Chemically inert silica resists UV
degradation and acid rain, making it ideal for exterior paints.
Glass & Specialty Glass
The Industry Need
Glass manufacturing requires silica sand with ultra-low trace impurities. Even minute amounts
of Iron (Fe) can cause green or yellow tinting, which is unacceptable for high-clarity
glass.
The Role of Quartz
It determines the transparency, strength, and thermal resistance of the final glass product.
Asian Quaartz Solution
We supply High-Purity Quartz with strictly controlled
iron levels.
- Optical Clarity: Fe₂O₃ <
0.01% ensures clear,
colourless glass for premium applications.
- Solar Transmission: Ideal for solar panel glass
(photovoltaic) where maximum light transmission efficiency is critical.
- Defect-Free Melting: High chemical purity prevents
inclusions and bubbles in the glass melt.
Fiberglass
The Industry Need
Fiberglass production requires silica with consistent melting properties and specific
chemical purity to draw fine, strong fibers for reinforcement.
The Role of Quartz
Ground silica is the main component in the glass batch, providing the SiO₂ matrix that gives
the fiber its tensile strength. It is used in glass fiber for reinforced plastics (FRP),
glass wool for insulation and high-strength fiberglass mats and fabrics.
Asian Quaartz Solution
- Melting Efficiency: Consistent particle size
distribution ensures uniform melting in the furnace.
- Chemical Purity: Controlled levels of alkalis and
iron ensure the mechanical strength of the glass fibers.
Foundry & Refractories
The Industry Need
Foundries require mold materials that can withstand the extreme heat of molten metal without
breaking down or reacting chemically.
The Role of Quartz
Quartz sand is used to make molds and cores because of its high melting point and thermal
stability.
Asian Quaartz Solution
- Thermal Shock Resistance: Our high-purity quartz
withstands extreme thermal cycling during metal pouring.
- Shape: The grain shape allows for good permeability,
letting gases escape during casting to prevent defects.
Construction Chemicals & Adhesives
The Industry Need
Modern construction materials like tile adhesives and grouts require aggregates that provide
mechanical strength and bonding capability.
The Role of Quartz
Quartz serves as a durable aggregate that reinforces the matrix of epoxy and cement-based
products.
Asian Quaartz Solution
- Compressive Strength: Improves the load-bearing
capacity of repair mortars and flooring screeds.
- Abrasion Resistance: Makes epoxy flooring and grouts
resistant to wear and tear.
- Chemical Inertness: Does not react with resins or
cement, ensuring long-term stability.
Plastics, Rubber & Polymers
The Industry Need
Polymer manufacturers use fillers to reduce costs and improve the physical properties of
plastics and rubber.
The Role of Quartz
Silica flour acts as a functional filler that improves stiffness, heat resistance, and
dielectric properties.
Asian Quaartz Solution
- Dielectric Strength: Excellent electrical insulating
properties for use in epoxy molding compounds (EMC).
- Dimensional Stability: Reduces shrinkage in molded
plastic parts.
- Reinforcement: Improves the tensile strength and
tear resistance of silicone rubber.
Oilfield & Hydraulic Fracturing (Frac Sand)
The Industry Need
The oil and gas industry requires durable 'proppants' to keep rock fissures open during
hydraulic fracturing operations.
The Role of Quartz
High-strength quartz grains act as proppants in hydraulic fracturing. So it must be strong
enough to resist crushing and maintain fracture openings for hydrocarbon flow.
Asian Quaartz Solution
- Crush Resistance: Our high-purity quartz grains
have the compressive strength required for deep-well applications.
- Sphericity: Rounded grains ensure maximum
permeability for oil and gas flow.
Specialty Applications
The Industry Need
High-tech and specialized sectors require silica with ultra-low trace impurities
(especially
iron) and specific chemical purity to ensure performance in sensitive environments.
