Silica Brown Sand 60/65 Mesh refers to a specific type of silica sand that is brown in color and classified by particle size within the 60/65 mesh range. Here's a breakdown of what each part means:

1. Silica Sand

• Main Composition: Primarily composed of silicon dioxide (SiO₂), often from quartz.
• Applications: Used in casting, construction, glassmaking, filtration, abrasives, foundries, and ceramics.

2. Brown Color

• The brown tint usually indicates the presence of iron oxide or other mineral impurities.
• Compared to white silica, brown silica sand is often used in industrial applications rather than high-purity glass or electronics.

3. 60/65 Mesh Size

• Mesh size describes the particle size of the sand.
• A 60 mesh sieve has 60 openings per inch, and 65 mesh has 65 openings per inch.
• 60/65 mesh sand means:
  • The particles pass through a 60 mesh screen but are retained by a 65 mesh screen.
  • This corresponds to a particle size range of approximately 250 to 212 microns (µm).
  • Considered medium-fine grain.

Typical Uses for 60/65 Mesh Brown Silica Sand

• Foundry sand for casting
• Industrial blasting media
• Water filtration
• Construction (e.g., mortar or concrete additives)
• Abrasive applications
• Ceramics or refractory applications
