Industrial Sand

Capital Sand mines a high-quality whole grain silica sand from its own quarry in Cape Girardeau, Missouri which is then washed, dried and screened into several grades of whole grain silica. Special attention is paid to producing a highly consistent material based on Capital Sand’s strict operating procedures and state-of-the-art plant operations. Our dedication to controlling the process results in a silica sand that can be used in a variety of industries, including glass manufacturing, foundries, frac sand, filter sand, traction sands, geothermal applications, plus play sands and sports field applications. In addition, Capital Sand produces an ultra-fine silica sand which can be used in 3D printing molds.

Some industries using whole grain silica require certain chemical specifications, others require certain physical specifications, some a little of both. Capital Sand concentrates on providing the most relevant specifications required by each industry, and for each customer. Contact us today about custom bagging or bulk delivery of our whole grain silica sand.

We operate two frac sand mines currently exceeding 7M tons of annual production capacity. We offer regional sand in the Permian Basin and Northern White sand to the Marcellus/Utica, Haynesville, and Eagle Ford. Visit our sister company for more info.

Ground Silica is produced from our high-quality silica sand, which is ground into a very fine flour in size and consistency. Capital Sand’s strict operating standards when producing a highly consistent whole grain silica are also applied in producing our ground silica materials. Our ground silica can be used in the manufacturing of sanitary ware, glass making frit, ceramic tile, tableware, industrial ceramics, polishes, and home and industrial insulation. Delivery is available via truck, rail or barge.
