About Silica

Natural Silica or Silicon Dioxide is one of the most common minerals in the earth’s crust. The natural Silica is Crystalline Mineral with varied forms. “Micron Silica” is a grade name of Natural Silica Series, manufactured by 20 Microns Limited. This micronized ground Silica is inherently Bright, White, Low in Moisture & Inert by Nature and the Hardness of Silica Mineral yields improved Burnish Resistance and Durability.’

Produced in a variety of sizes with High Purity, our products are produced from high purity Silica ore which are inherently Inert, Bright White, with Low Moisture and Highly Pure. Some of the main properties improve Coating Hardness, Chemical Resistance, Resin demand and Dispersibility. The consistent pH and narrow size distributions allow very high loading with minimal effect on Viscosity and Cure Rate versus Synthetic or Precipitated Silica

20 Microns offers range of ground Silica in sizes from 65microns to 10 microns in powder and aggregates in tailored sizes from our Gujarat and Rajasthan based sources,

20 Microns in Joint venture with Dorfers has ventured into producing fine quality decorative coloured quartz sand under its brand “GEOSIL ART” with pure crystal quartz sand as the primary material is produced with a Polymer Binder and Lightfast Pigment. It is Lightfast and Highly Resistant to Water and Chemicals with optimal grain shape and size uniformity. It is also compatible with Water and Solvent-based Binders. We have the options of both Hydrophilic and Hydrophobic colored Silica in all RAL shades as per the customer requirement. Geosil Art is available in a variety of different sizes ranging per customers requirements.

A variety of applications with different products from 20 Microns are catered ranging from Coatings to Plastics, Glass to Foundry, Ceramics to Electronics, const chemical to foundry and many more.

Frequently Asked Questions

Important information about Silica, grades and applications.

Silica is the primary raw material for glass and is used in foundry, ceramics, rubber, paints, construction, water filtration, and countless other applications.

Silica (SiO₂) is the chemical compound. Quartz is the crystalline mineral form of silica. We offer both natural quartz and processed silica products.

Yes, silica sand is processed sand with high SiO₂ content (95%+) and controlled sizing, unlike beach or river sand which contains various impurities.

We offer silica in various mesh sizes from 16 mesh to 500 mesh, including custom sizing for specific applications.
