Product Forms

EB TA delivers engineered quartz solutions in two primary product forms — Granular Quartz and Powdered Quartz (Dry Ground) — designed to meet demanding industrial specifications with repeatable performance and export-ready logistics.

Product Form

Granular Quartz

Controlled physical beneficiation and precision granulometry for applications requiring mechanical stability, consistent particle morphology, and reliable process repeatability.

  • Controlled granulometry: verified PSD for stable manufacturing input.
  • High mechanical integrity: supports abrasion resistance and structural performance.
  • Low impurity profile: aligned with formulations sensitive to trace elements.
  • Chemical stability: suitable for chemically demanding operating conditions.
Typical Packaging: Big-Bag Typical Packaging: Silo Truck Customization: Specification-based
Product Form

Powdered Quartz (Dry Ground)

Homogeneous dry-ground quartz engineered for applications requiring high surface uniformity, consistent brightness, and precision-grade particle distribution.

  • Homogeneous distribution: stable PSD for consistent dispersion and formulation behavior.
  • High whiteness & brightness: supports premium visual / optical requirements.
  • Low iron & titanium positioning: designed for impurity-sensitive applications.
  • High-precision suitability: optimized for coatings, ceramics, and advanced surface technologies.

Typical Packaging Big-Bag / Silo Truck Craft Bag / Big-Bag / Silo Truck
Typical Use Glass, ceramics bodies, foundry & metallurgy flux systems, composite stone aggregates, filtration media, abrasive and refractory inputs (application dependent). Coatings & paints, glazing and slip systems, porcelain formulations, engineered surfaces, high-uniformity applications and dispersion-sensitive production steps.
Primary Value Mechanical stability, packing behavior, and controlled morphology across production batches. Uniformity, dispersion performance, and formulation consistency under tight tolerances.

FAQ — Product Forms, Specifications, and Supply

Answers prepared for industrial procurement and technical evaluation. For project-specific requirements, please contact EB TA.

1) How do I choose between granular and powdered quartz?

Selection depends on your process mechanics and dispersion needs. Granular quartz is typically preferred when packing density, morphology, and mechanical stability are primary drivers. Powdered quartz is typically preferred when homogeneous distribution, surface uniformity, and controlled dispersion behavior are critical.

2) Can EB TA provide customer-specific PSD targets?

Yes. Share your PSD targets (d10/d50/d90), application, and volume via Contact.

3) Which industries typically use granular quartz?

Commonly ceramics bodies, glass, metallurgy/foundry inputs, composite stone aggregates, filtration and abrasive systems (application dependent).

4) Which industries typically use powdered quartz?

Coatings & paints, porcelain, glazing/slip systems, engineered surfaces, and dispersion-sensitive formulation steps.

5) How is particle size verified?

Granular fractions are verified via sieve analysis; powdered fractions can be verified via laser diffraction (Malvern) based on specification.

6) What quality controls are applied across production?

Controlled physical processing, batch traceability, PSD verification, chemical composition checks (XRF/ICP-OES), moisture/bulk density verification and documentation-based continuity.

7) Do you provide documentation and traceability for shipments?

Yes. EB TA maintains batch-level documentation to support repeatable quality and export-grade supply.

8) What packaging options are available?

Big-Bag, Craft Bag, and Silo Truck options are available based on product form and logistics plan. See Packaging & Logistics.

9) Can EB TA support export-oriented supply programs?

Yes. Supply and documentation can be aligned with destination requirements and shipment model.

10) How do we request a technical recommendation and quote?

Use Contact and share application, PSD targets, volume, packaging preference, and destination.
