Description and Application:
Premium quality inert white quartz sand, kiln dried and dust free. This sand is a natural product and has not been coloured

Aqua & Habitat:
An fine clean pure white sand for aquaria and vivariums. Wash before use.

Crafts & Decorative:
Use as a dazzling support for candles and with sea washed shells.

The sand provides for fine moulding detail and is invaluable as an inert extender in resin and Jesmonite® systems

Merchandising:
The sand's dry and clean nature makes it ideal for corporate and merchandising displays. The sand is non static and can be creatively "drifted" to form shadows when used for photographic assignments.

Scale Models:
It is hard to absolutely scale natural sands. To model snow, beach, river or desert sand at HO scale requires a grain size similar to clay minerals at around five microns.
Considering both availability and convenience for working, the finest grain size of modelling sand is realistically in a size range of 0.1 to 0.3mm (100 to 300 microns).

Top Tip: When attempting to scale a sandy surface use both the finest sand available, and a uniformly coloured sand, for instance our Snow White Sand, in order for it not to look grainy. A through graded sand with different coloured grains like our "concrete jungle" will provide a more rugged appearance.

Suggested scale use for Winter White Sand.

Colour & Form:
We take great care to provide accurate images, however, shade variations can occur both with the products themselves and with ambient lighting.

It can also be difficult to adequately describe and visualise grain size, we do, however, show products in context with additional images.

For both colour and form please request a sample if these factors are critical to your application.
