What is the difference between silica and quartz sand?

  Silica is actually silica, but when it comes to silica, many friends first think of quartz sand, which is also quartz powder, and its composition is also silica, so do you know the difference between quartz powder and silica? Here Let me introduce the difference between quartz sand and white carbon black.

  The similarities between white carbon black and quartz sand

  The main component of quartz powder is sio2, and the main component of white carbon black is also sio2. Quartz powder is the same as quartz sand, also known as silicon micropowder and white carbon black. They are both silica and have stable properties. This is their similarity.

  The difference between white carbon black and quartz sand

  1. The production process of white carbon black and quartz sand is different

  White carbon black is silicon dioxide made by vapor deposition method, but the structure is different, so the effect is also different. Quartz powder is processed from pure quartz powder through advanced ultra-fine grinding technology, and is an inorganic non-metallic material with a wide range of uses.

  2. The uses of silica and quartz sand are different

  In addition to being used in rubber products instead of black carbon black, white carbon black is also widely used in paints, inks, feeds, pesticides, fire extinguishing agents, papermaking, agricultural chemicals, daily chemical products, cementing agents, anti-caking agents, Paper making packing and other industries.

  Quartz sand is widely used in optical glass, electronic packaging, electrical insulation, high-grade ceramics, paint coatings, precision casting, silicone rubber, medicine, cosmetics, electronic components and VLSI, mobile communications, laptop computers, aerospace, etc. production area.
