Alpha Minerals & Chemicals

Quartz lumps are naturally occurring mineral stones composed primarily of silica (SiO₂). These lumps are known for their high purity, hardness, and resistance to weathering, making them a valuable raw material in various industrial applications.

• Composition: Typically over 99% silicon dioxide (SiO₂).
• Appearance: Transparent to opaque, with a glass-like luster and often a white or off-white color.
• Hardness: 7 on the Mohs scale, indicating excellent durability.
• Density: Approximately 2.65 g/cm³.
• Shape and Size: Irregularly shaped lumps, usually processed to meet specific size requirements.

1. Glass Manufacturing: Essential for producing high-quality glass, including optical, container, and construction glass.
2. Ceramics and Refractories: Used in making ceramics, tiles, and refractory materials.
3. Construction Industry: As a key component in engineered quartz surfaces and concrete production.
4. Electronics: Utilized in semiconductors and solar panels due to its high purity.
5. Metallurgy: Used as a flux in steelmaking and other metallurgical processes.
