Ilmenite

Ilmenite is a titanium-iron oxide mineral with the idealized formula FeTiO3. It is a weakly magnetic black or steel-gray solid. Ilmenite is the most important ore of titanium and the main source of titanium dioxide, which is used in paints, printing inks, fabrics, plastics, paper, sunscreen, food and cosmetics.

Zircon

Zircon, also known as zircon silicate, is found in ancient mineral sand deposits. Zircon is typically brown and used in its conversion into flouropacifier, fused zirconiazirconium chemicals, chemical zirconia and zirconium metal. Zircon sand is directly used in foundry applications and refractories and other minor applications.

Garnet

Garnet is mined as an industrial mineral and is valued for its many industrial applications. Garnet Sand is the most versatile natural sandblasting & cutting medium available today. Its inherent uniformity gives better performance and its repeatability makes it perfectly suitable for the sandblasting industry.

Monazite

Monazite is a rare-earth element-rich phosphate mineral that is predominantly reddish-brown in colour.  Monazite sand is known for its content of rare earth elements, particularly thorium and cerium. These elements are crucial for various high-tech applications, including electronics, renewable energy, and defense technologies.

Rutile

Rutile is the most common and stable form of titanium dioxide found in nature. It forms under high pressure and high temperature in igneous and metamorphic rocks. It is a key ingredient in paint and also a useful component in optical equipment. rutile is used in plastics, paper, paints, sunscreen, and welding equipment.

Quartz

Quartz sand, also known as silica sand, can be made into high-purity quartz sand after beneficiation and purification, which is widely used in glass, ceramics, metallurgy, casting and refractory materials industries.
