Quality Silica Sand for Quality Roofing Materials
If you’re looking for a way to boost the strength of the asphalt shingles on your structure, look no further than silica sand. Pontotoc Sand & Stone produces over 100,000 tons of durable, high-quality sand each month. Keep reading to learn why our silica sand is the top option for superior asphalt shingles:
Silica Sand Is the Key Ingredient for Asphalt Shingles
Unlike beach sand, which is composed of different materials, the silica sand we mine is crystalline SiO2. By concentrating on the purity of the material, we offer a product with a consistent hardness, shape, and chemical structure.
- Silica is a solid material with consistent performance under normal temperature conditions.
- Silica has a high melting point, making it a suitable material for extreme conditions.
Silica sand is an essential ingredient in many construction processes, including the manufacturing of asphalt shingles. Our industrial sand is a high-purity product that arrives washed, sorted, and graded, so it’s immediately ready to use in any manufacturing process the moment it is delivered.
