Sudarshan Group is the leading Quartz Grains Manufacturer that offers high-quality products suitable for industrial use. This makes their production very precise to provide quality, long-lasting and uniform quartz grains to industries.
Quartz is one of the hardest natural materials on the earth’s crust with the Moh’s hardness of 7. This hardness refers to the ability of the mineral to resist scratching, implying that quartz grains do not wear out easily and can endure much handling without getting damaged. This property is especially relevant in cases where the application requires a high degree of material toughness, for instance, when quartz is used in the manufacturing of abrasives to grind and polish other materials. Its hardness also makes quartz grains suitable for use in areas that are prone to a lot of traffic such as countertops and flooring.
Quartz is chemically stable, meaning it does not readily combine with other substances such as acids, bases, and solvents. This property allows the quartz grains to remain unaltered in many conditions and is beneficial for applications where stability is needed for extended periods and where chemical degradation is possible. For instance, in the glass-making industry, the chemical inertness of quartz makes the glass produced to be chemically pure and free from impurities. Further, in ceramics and paints, the stability of quartz ensures the durability of the end products.
Quartz grains can be transparent or translucent, and they usually have a glassy lustre that makes them look beautiful. These optical characteristics make quartz very useful in the manufacture of glass, especially because of its transparency and capacity to let light pass through it. Another commercial application of quartz is to be found in the production of high-quality lenses and other optical equipment. In addition, the glassy lustre of quartz grains has made them be used in the application of decorative stones and counters since they give a royal touch to the surface.
Quartz has a melting point of about 1650°C (3002°F) and is therefore very heat resistant. This thermal stability also features a low coefficient of thermal expansion which makes quartz strong at high temperatures without breaking or bending. Thus, quartz grains are widely used in the refractory materials that are used in furnaces, kilns and other high-temperature applications. Quartz also has a high resistance to temperature fluctuations, which makes it ideal for use in laboratory equipment and glassware that is subject to heating and cooling.
Quartz is a piezoelectric material which means the material can able to produce electric charge when it is subjected to mechanical strain. This property is employed in several electronic gadgets including quartz watches whereby the uniform vibrations of a quartz crystal are applied in telling time. The piezoelectric characteristics of Quartz are also employed in quartz crystal units, sensors, microphones and other apparatus to transform mechanical energy into electricity. In addition, the electro-optical properties of quartz make it an important material in the semiconductor industry in the manufacture of silicon wafers.
The density and specific gravity of quartz grains are rather high, ranging from 2 up to 2. 65 g/cm³. This density is useful in the weight and stability of quartz in use. For instance, in construction, due to the high density of quartz grains, they are most suitable to be used in concrete, which gives it strength and stability. The density of quartz is also important in the filtration system, where quartz sand is used in the water filtration due to the Weight and filtration rate of quartz.
