Silica Sand
Silica Sand is an important aggregate used in acrylic sports flooring formulations to help achieve the required surface texture, material consistency, and system performance. The selected particle size allows Silica Sand to be incorporated into compatible flooring layers according to the specific requirements of the sports flooring system.
Fine Silica Sand is the primary grade used across most Raycourt acrylic sports flooring applications, while Coarse Silica Sand is available for specific system requirements where a larger aggregate profile is required. Together, these silica sand grades provide flexibility in selecting the appropriate aggregate for different flooring formulations and application needs.
Two Silica Sand Grades for Different Flooring Requirements
Silica Sand is available in Fine and Coarse grades, allowing the appropriate aggregate size to be selected according to the requirements of the specific acrylic sports flooring formulation and system layer.
Fine Silica Sand
Fine Silica Sand features a smaller, more refined particle size and is the primary grade used across most acrylic sports flooring applications. It helps provide a controlled aggregate texture and consistent material profile when incorporated into compatible flooring formulations.
Coarse Silica Sand
Coarse Silica Sand features larger particles and is selected for specific flooring system requirements where a more pronounced aggregate texture or surface profile is needed. Its use depends on the formulation and characteristics required for the particular flooring layer.

What is Silica Sand used for in acrylic sports flooring?
Silica Sand is used as an aggregate in compatible acrylic sports flooring formulations to help achieve the required texture and surface profile within specific flooring layers.
What is the difference between Fine and Coarse Silica Sand?
The main difference is particle size. Fine Silica Sand has smaller particles, while Coarse Silica Sand has larger particles and is selected where a more pronounced aggregate texture is required.
Which type of Silica Sand is commonly used in sports court flooring?
Fine Silica Sand is the primary grade used across most acrylic sports flooring applications. Coarse Silica Sand is selected for specific system requirements where a larger aggregate profile is needed.
How is the correct Silica Sand grade selected?
The correct grade is selected according to the flooring product, system formulation, required aggregate texture, and specifications of the particular flooring layer.
Does the particle size of Silica Sand affect the flooring system?
Yes. Different particle sizes can contribute to different aggregate textures and surface profiles, which is why the appropriate grade is selected according to the requirements of the flooring formulation.
