Quartz – High Purity Silica Mineral
Used in Glass Manufacturing, Foundry, Ceramics & Construction
Premium Quartz for Industrial Processing
Quartz is a crystalline mineral composed primarily of silicon dioxide (SiO₂). Known for its exceptional hardness and chemical stability, quartz is one of the most widely used minerals in industrial manufacturing processes.
Quartz is used extensively in glass production, foundry casting, ceramics manufacturing, and construction materials.

Versatility Across Industries
| Industry | Primary Use | Key Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Engineered Stone | Quartz Countertops | Provides the structural strength and aesthetic depth for premium kitchen surfaces. |
| Glass & Optics | Specialty Glassware | Low iron content ensures maximum light transmission for solar tubes and optical lenses. |
| Ceramic Glazes | High-Gloss Finishes | Enhances the mechanical strength and brilliance of ceramic glazes. |
| Electronics | Silicon Wafers/Chips | Serves as the raw material for high-purity silicon used in the semiconductor industry. |
| Paints & Resins | Texture & Durability | Acts as a high-strength filler that improves the “scrub” resistance of industrial coatings. |
Pro Tip: In the Engineered Stone (Artificial Marble) industry, the ratio of different quartz grain sizes is the secret to a high-quality slab. Using Asteroid Microns‘ precisely graded grits allows you to achieve a “compacted” surface with minimal resin usage, significantly lowering your production costs while increasing the slab’s hardness.
Applications
Why Choose Asteroid Microns Quartz?
- Iron-Free Processing: We use ceramic-lined mills and magnetic separators to ensure zero metallic contamination, preserving the pure white color of the quartz.
- Custom Micronization: From granular “Quartz Grits” for flooring to “Quartz Silica Flour” (up to 5 microns) for specialty fillers.
- Superior Whiteness: Our quartz is selected for its high L-value, ensuring that when used in engineered stone, the colors remain vivid and the matrix remains clear.
- Consistent PSD: Our particle size distribution is strictly monitored to ensure optimal packing density in resinbased composites.
Our Quartz Product Range
- Quartz Grits: 0.1mm – 0.3mm, 0.3mm – 0.7mm, 1.2mm – 2.5mm (For Countertops & Flooring)
- Quartz Powder: 200 Mesh, 300 Mesh, 500 Mesh (For Coatings & Ceramics)
- Micro-Fine Quartz: Below 10 Microns (For high-performance fillers)
