Ultra-Pure Silica at Scale
From 99.6% raw sand to > 99.99% SiO₂ advanced material products for the renewable energy transition
Why Our Silica is Different
Three key advantages that set us apart in the high-purity silica market
Exceptional In-Situ Purity
Santa Maria Eterna sand averages 99.6% SiO₂ even before processing, providing a superior starting point for purification.
Low Impurity Suite
Iron below 20 ppm after crushing with rapid upgrade potential that significantly reduces operational expenses.
District Control
>200 Mt of HPQ resources under 40-year leases ensures multi-decade feedstock security and supply chain control.
