Z-SIL® is available in five uniform size distributions. They feature unmatched fineness and consistency of particle size due to a special processing technique developed by Zigma International.
Special processing techniques assure controlled particle size distribution, which means elimination of excessive coarse and fine particles. These properties, combined with inertness and inherently low cost, make Z-SIL® the best quality filler/extender for a range of applicationsincluding paints and coatings, sealants, silicone rubber and epoxy.
Zigma Silica's whole grain, unground sand is available in a wide variety of grain shapes and size distributions to meet any application requirement. At each mining location, raw material is processed, screened and graded to assure the finest quality sand.
Glass sands -
ZIGMA INTERNATIONAL provides a wide range of high purity, low iron, silica sands for the glass industry. Products that require silica sands include: glass containers, flat glass,fiber glass insulation, textile fiber glass and a variety of other specialty glass products. To effectively serve the glass industry we must closely monitor screen sizing for consistentparticle size and distribution. By meeting these strict requirements for quality and consistency, ZIGMA INTERNATIONAL enables its customers to realize maximum production efficiencies and cost savings.Our ground and fine-ground (micronized) silicas are naturally bright white, low in moisture, and chemically inert. They contain at least 99.5% pure SiO2 and areused in many different products requiring rigid control of physical and chemical properties.
Z-SIL ground silica, available in more than ten uniformgrades, ranging from 120 to 400 mesh in topsize.
micronized silica, available in five grades, ranging from 40 down to 5 microns in topsize.
Foundry sands.
ZIGMA INTERNATIONALsupplies over many grades of round, angular and sub-angular sands to the foundry industry for molding and coremaking applications.Because of the high silica content and our ability to meet a wide range of sand specifications, we are helping foundry customer's produce high integrity castings, free of defects and with superior surface finishes.
Sands from ZIGMA INTERNATIONAL are helping foundry customers compete in a world market which demands high quality castings at competitive prices.
At ZIGMA INTERNATIONAL we Produce foundry sands close to our customer's plants and in the grain shapes and sizes required.
Equip, maintain and staff these plants to produce the highest quality sand possible.
Provide research and development facilities staffed with experienced technical service representatives to help foundries better utilize these sands.
High Quality Silica For Building Products-
Zigma International mines and produces whole grain and ground silica and kaolin clays for the building products industry.End uses range from asphalt sealants and shingles to mortars, grouts, clay bricks, fiber- cement panels to pool filtration media and ASTM testing sand. Diverse applications include fillers, thickeners, colorant base, friction surfacing, filtration, parting media, admixture, and quality control testing. Zigma International is a preferred supplier to the building products industry due to technical expertise and support, ISO 9001 certified quality, and a commitment to customer satisfaction.
Fillers / Extenders-
ZIGMA INTERNATIONAL offers a wide range of unground silica, ground silica and calcined clay products for use as fillers and extenders.Ground silica is ideal for plastics and rubber, polishes and cleansers, paints, ceramic frits and glazes, fiberglass, precision castings and more.
Fine ground silica is a high quality filler/extender for a range of applications including paints and coatings, sealants, silicone rubber and epoxy.
Calcined kaolin clay, has proven to be an excellent extender for titanium dioxide (white)pigments used in paints and coatings. In addition it is a good choice in EPDM rubber wire insulation and other synthetic rubber, because of its excellent electrical properties.

Municipal Filtration-
Zigma International Filtration Sands and Gravels are nature’s own naturalfilter media. They are carefully washed, sized and graded to meet the stringent specifications of AWWA B-100 and meet ANSI standards for consistently uniform and chemically inert filter media. All products are certified under NSF-61 by the NationalSanitation FoundationFiltration Sands are produced from hard ore quartz sands that are resistant to degradation during handling and backwashing. These dense and durable sands can effectively improve your filter efficiency, reduce detention time and head pressures, and optimize flow rates.
Filtration Sands and Gravels are
suitable for Municipal Wastewater treatment, Drinking Water systems, Residential and Commercial Well drilling, and Environmental Monitoring wells.
The angular and sub angular grain shape of Filtration Sands media will increase the solids holding capacity and improve the overall efficiency of any filter design.Filtrationsands have the unique ability to absorb, suspend or settle out floc,collides and bacteria. Greater void space permits smaller grain sizes withoutexcessive head loss in pressure or multi-media systems. Filtration Sand gradesm are engineered to optimize the performance of air scour potable water filters and tertiary filtration systems. Filtration sands have also been proven effective in iron and manganese removal in industrial process water filtration and waste treatment.
GROUND SILICA
Our ground and fine-ground (micronized) silicas are naturally bright white, low in moisture, and chemically inert. They contain at least 99.5% pure SiO2 and are used in many different products requiring rigid control of physical and chemical properties.Z-SIL ground silica, available in more than ten uniform grades, ranging from 120 to 400 mesh in topsize.micronized silica, available in five grades, ranging from 40 down to 5 microns in topsize.
Applications:As a filler and extender in paint formulations, Z-Sil ,,Silica's fine-ground silica renders paint more resistant to chemical attack because of its acid resistance and improves scrubbability and burnish resistance. Its durability and chemical inertness make it an excellent product for epoxies, coatings, mastics, adhesives, and sealants.
In ceramics, Zigma Silica high quality ground silica provides a bright, white silica base for glazes and bodies, and the consistent size distribution assures reproducible viscosity in slips.
Ground silica has found wide industrial application as an additive for plastics and rubber.Products are produced from high purity silica which is precision ground to top sizes ranging from 40 to 250 microns. These ground silicas are inherently inert, white, bright, have low moisture and are at least 99.4% SiO2.Special processing techniques assure controlled particle size distribution, which means elimination of excessive coarse and fine particles. This makes ground silicas ideal for plastics and rubber, polishes and cleansers, paints, ceramic frits and glazes, fiberglass, precision castings and more.
Traditional Ceramics
In sanitaryware, tile, dishware, electrical insulators and frits the chemical purity and consistent particle size distribution of Z-SIL Ground Silica ensures white ceramics with consistent slip viscosity and excellent firing characteristics.Thermoset Plastics
In laboratory bench tops, epoxy molding and potting compounds, and in various phenolic and polyester compounds the consistent particle size distribution of Z-SIL, Ground Silica allows for high loadings with minimal viscosity increase. Traffic Paint
Silica is an excellent filler for traffic paint because of its natural hardness and chemical resistance. Z-SIL Ground Silica is specified because of its high brightness and low oil absorption.Textile FiberglassSilica is a critical raw material in the manufacture of textile fiberglass. The chemical consistency and tight particle size distribution of Z-SIL Ground Silica makes it an industry standard.
Z-SIL® is a high purity, high quality natural crystalline silica that is available exclusively through Zigma International. This ground silica sand is inherently inert, white, bright, has low moisture and is at least 99.2% SiO2.
