SINICON SAND

It is a heat proofing plaster and screed aggregate used for plastering and many other applications, derived out from unique volcanic glass, a large deposit of which is found at only one location in South Africa and no where else on earth.. Its properties are similar to classical perlite but it differs in that the processed form is ideally suited for use with Cementitious and other binders. It also has truly exceptional fireproofing properties.

The volcanic glass ore is crushed and passed through a series of specially developed processing equipments and through this patented process crushed grains are converted into a multitude of well sealed glass beads. It also alters the chemistry of the glass and results in a higher melting point.. Under the microscope, each tough bead comprises a froth of glass walled closed cells each enclosing a near vacuum.It is therefore best described as comprising millions of tiny sealed “ thermos flasks” hence its absolutely unique, unrivalled insulating and fireproofing properties.
