Quartz sand
Quartz sand as filler and anti-slip additive for epoxy resin, polyester resin and synthetic resin systems
Properties and benefits of quartz sand in resin systems
Quartz sand improves the mechanical properties of resin systems and increases the compressive strength as well as the abrasion resistance of coatings. It prevents resin layers from running on inclined surfaces, provides a non-slip surface and enables the production of durable composite structures. Due to its mineral composition, quartz sand is particularly wear-resistant, chemically resistant and versatile in laminating, coating and repair processes.
Applications of quartz sand in floor coatings and composite processing
In epoxy resin systems and polyester resin systems, quartz sand is either mixed in as a filler to achieve the desired consistency or broadcast onto fresh epoxy resin surfaces as an anti-slip material. Typical applications include floor coatings, polymer mortars, repair compounds, non-slip coatings and decorative applications for replicating mineral substrates. In boat building, model making, automotive body repair and industrial composite manufacturing, quartz sand contributes to creating durable, functional and non-slip surfaces.
Quartz sand as part of additives and fillers in construction chemistry
As a mineral filler, quartz sand can be optimally combined with other additives such as microballoons, cotton flakes or glass fiber choppings. This allows for the creation of customized resin-filler mixtures that can be used for structural bonding, laminate build-ups, repairs or large-scale floor coatings. Thus, quartz sand is an essential component in composite processing, boat building, model making and industrial construction chemistry.
