Silica Sands
Fairmount Minerals offers both the high purity round grain that is mined from the St. Peters Sand deposit in Wedron, IL and the high purity sub-round grain shape from Chardon, OH. Both types of sand are ideal for all types of Foundries. The grain shape and high-purity silica content result in low binder percentages for cores and molds. This product is offered in a range between 20 AFS/GFN and 130 AFS/GFN.
