Pure Silica Sand for the Glass You Need to Make
Glass starts with sand, and the cleaner the sand, the clearer the result. Custom Abrasives supplies pure industrial silica sand to glass customers across the Gulf Coast, delivered directly by our own fleet.
What Determines the Right Sand?
The right sand starts with your product. Clear architectural glass, container glass, and specialty glass each carry different purity requirements.
From there, three properties decide how well the sand fits: silica content, iron and other impurities, and grain size distribution. Custom Abrasives industrial sand is 99.5% silica and free of chlorides. We work from your specification and provide technical data sheets so your team can verify the fit before you order.
Matched to Your Batch House and Process
Consistent delivery matters as much as consistent chemistry. We look at:
- Your batch specification, including iron limits and grain size range
- How the sand will be received: dry bulk, bulk bag, and 50 lb bag delivery utilizing our own company-owned fleet
- Storage and handling at your facility
- Delivery timing that keeps your batch house supplied
Cost Per Melt, Not Price Per Ton
The lowest price per ton does not always give the lowest cost per ton of glass. Consistent sand can bring total cost down by:
- Reducing batch adjustments
- Keeping color and clarity steady
- Limiting rejected or reworked product
- Keeping your line supplied with dependable inventory and direct delivery
