Quartz Sand Filter Media
Quartz sand filter media (SiO₂ ≥99%) is the standard primary filtration layer in dual-media and multi-media gravity/pressure filters. Round-grained silica particles classified to specific mesh ranges (16-30, 8-16, 4-8) trap suspended solids by mechanical straining plus interstitial adhesion. Pingdingshan and Lingshou (Hebei) deposits supply the bulk of Chinese export grade — chemically inert, abrasion-resistant, NSF/ANSI 61 compliant for drinking water.

Особенности продукта
- Round-grain (water-washed) for low headloss and even bed expansion during backwash
- Chemically inert across pH 0-14 — no leaching of contaminants
- Mohs 7.0 hardness — minimal attrition during 10+ year service life
- NSF/ANSI 61 grades available for drinking water on request
