About Zircon Casting Sand

Established in 2004, we are a Gujarat-based company actively involved in trading and supplying of high-grade Zircon Casting Sand. The chemical formula of this sand is ZrSiO4 and is most commonly found in unconsolidated fossil shorelines. It is available as a fine white mineral powder and stable at very high temperatures. The offered Zircon Casting Sand is widely used in high-temperature applications, investment casting shell moulds, and various other uses.

Features:

Very high melting and boiling point
High specific gravity
Available in different mesh sizes

Outstanding Thermal Stability and Strength

With a melting point of 2200C and a refractoriness under load rating of 1650C1700C, Zircon Casting Sand resists high thermal and mechanical stresses. Its excellent dimensional stability and minimal thermal expansion make it ideal for demanding industrial applications, including casting and manufacturing refractory bricks.

Customizable Grain Size for Precise Applications

Available in customizable grain sizes from 40 to 150 mesh, Zircon Casting Sand meets specialized requirements for foundry, investment casting, ceramics, or glass production. Its powder or granular form enhances adaptability, ensuring a smooth surface finish for precision work.

High Purity and Chemical Resistance

Comprising at least 99% purity, the sand contains ZrO2 + HfO2 (minimum 65%), with low levels of SiO2, Fe2O3, and TiO2. These properties confer outstanding resistance to chemical attack, high hardness (7.5 Mohs scale), and negligible water absorption, providing consistent quality across various uses.

FAQs of Zircon Casting Sand:
