Silica is essential to the production of both ceramics and refractories. When manufacturing ceramics, the use of silica (SiO2) helps modify thermal expansion, regulate drying and shrinkage, and improve structural integrity and appearance. Silica is necessary for both glazing and body construction of products such as tableware, sanitary ware, and floor and wall tiles. Ceramic products like crockery, sanitary ware, tiles, etc play a very important role in our daily life. This is because, apart from their decorative look, ceramic products are primarily hygiene products. This is also one of the chief reasons for their wide usage in bathrooms and kitchens in modern households to medical centers, laboratories, milk booths, schools, public conveniences, etc. The ceramic industry has a long history, with the first instance of functional pottery vessels being used for storing water and food, which is thought to be around since 9,000 or 10,000 BC. Clay bricks were also made around the same time. The ceramic industry has been modernizing continuously, by newer innovations in product design, quality, etc. Though there are a number of large companies in the ceramics sector, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) account for more than 50% of the total market in India. The Rs 26,500-crore ceramic tiles industry in India is set to witness nearly 9 percent growth in demand this year, higher than the 3-5 percent growth recorded last year.
Infimerx Silica sand is well known for its very low levels of deleterious impurities, particularly clay, iron oxides, and refractory minerals, such as chromite. We are prominent for our narrow grain size distribution. Our Silica sand meets most of the Industrial applications as we provide very closely defines specifications and consistency with different combinations of properties to meet most of the Industrial applications. Different grades of Silica sand are usually not interchangeable and we are very keen on providing the finest quality and customized material according to our client’s requirements. Infimerx serves a wider geographical market, including exports.
Infimerx provides uniform-sized Quartz material which undergoes comminution, to liberate impurities, break up aggregates, modify particle morphology and size distribution. This facilitates mixing and forming and helps to produce more reactive material for firing. Infimerx Quartz sand is well known in Ceramic industries and ceramic products created using Infimerx Quartz demonstrate increased performance with greater brightness, reflectance, color consistency, and absorption of oil.
