Technical Notes
- 01Fe₂O₃ content should be below 0.02% for glass industry.
- 02Round-grained sand preferred for filtration applications.
- 03Free silica ratio must be monitored when used as blasting sand.
- 04Grain fineness number (GFN) must comply with specification.
- 05Moisture control is important during transport and storage.
