What is Grade 2 silica?
Grade 2 silica is a type of industrial silica that is more economical than higher purity grades, due to its purity, color, grain size, and percentage of impurities. This product is usually obtained from processed silica rock and, despite its reasonable purity, is used for applications that do not require ultra-premium or highly pure silica. Grade 2 silica is used in many general and semi-specialty industries due to its reasonable price, high availability, and desirable performance.
Applications of Grade 2 Silica in Industries
Grade 2 silica is used in various industries such as construction, foundry, mortar and adhesive production, some filtration uses, mineral fillers, concrete production, and general industrial processes. This type of silica is a suitable choice in cases where the main priority is economy along with acceptable performance. Also, depending on the type of granulation and chemical composition, it can be used in some production and infrastructure uses. For this reason, Grade 2 silica is one of the most sought-after products for general industries and non-sensitive applications.
