PRODUCTOS > SILICA SAND

White sand of quartz crystals. Silica is found abundantly in rocks, soils, sand and in the earth’s crust. This silica sand has a very characteristic grain size (0.5-1mm) which makes it one of the finest sands that can be found.

Uses:

• Suitable for decorative purposes.
• Can be used as substrate in aquariums and terrariums. Also suitable for cat boxes and swimming pool filters.
• Children’s playgrounds.
• Arts and crafts.
• Surface cleaning by sandblasting.
• Also used for the maintenance of artificial grass, prolonging its durability. It makes the artificial grass sit better on the ground, pinning it down to the surface below, and helps the edge areas to hold together much longer, especially those that are exposed to more traffic.
• As an artificial grass infill, it acts as a temperature regulator, preventing burns when there is long exposure to the sun. Adding a layer of silica sand at the base reduces the surface temperature, making it more stable.

Instructions for use:

• As substrate for terrariums and aquariums: Wash the sand and, for terrariums, leave to dry before use. In the case of aquariums, once washed, place on the bottom and decorate.
• For artificial grass maintenance: Spread evenly over the lawn by hand, allowing it to settle at the base of the lawn.
