GRANUSIL® Mineral Filler is produced from high-purity industrial quartz sand for a wide variety of industrial and contractor mixed applications which need a reliable silica contribution or require a chemically inert structural filler. Consistently uniform grain shapes and particle size distributions offer excellent placement and mechanical properties. High silica content combined with low-level soluble ions, alkalis, and alkaline oxides provides non-reactive service in most corrosive and exposed environments.
These durable monocrystalline structures resist abrasion in high traffic-excessive wear applications and provide the stability formulators seek in high solids emulsions, elastomerics, cemented and modified cementitious systems. GRANUSIL® is the preferred structural component in systems ranging from polymerized floor overlays to grouts, tiles, and self-leveler.
All GRANUSIL® grades are processed and sized under rigid Covia’s QIPSM statistical and quality assurance programs. The result is chemical purity and consistently uniform particle size distributions for predictable performance in either manufactured or site-prepared products.
