MINERAL FILLERS
ST. CANUT, QUEBEC
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
GRANUSIL® Mineral Fillers are produced from high purity industrial quartz sands for a wide variety of
industrial and contractor mixed applications which need a reliable silica contribution or require a chemically
inert structural filler. Consistently uniform grain shapes and particle size distributions offer excellent
placement, compaction and mechanical properties. High silica content combined with low level soluble ions,
alkalis and alkaline oxides provide non-reactive service in most corrosive and exposed environments.
These durable monocrystalline structures resist abrasion in high traffic-excessive wear applications and
provide the stability formulators seek in high solids emulsions, elastomerics, cemented and modified
cementitious systems. GRANUSIL® is the preferred structural component in systems ranging from
polymerized floor overlays to artificial sports turf.
All GRANUSIL® grades are processed and sized under rigid SPC and UNIMIN QIPSM statistical and quality
assurance programs. The result is chemical purity and consistently uniform particle size distributions for
predictable performance in either manufactured or site-prepared products.

HEALTH HAZARD WARNING: Prolonged inhalation of dust associated with the materials described in this data sheet can cause delayed lung injury including Silicosis, a progressive,
disabling and sometimes fatal lung disease. IARC has determined that crystalline silica, inhaled from occupational sources, can cause cancer in humans. Risk of injury is dependent
on the duration and level of exposure. Follow OSHA or other relevant safety and health standards for the form of crystalline silica called Quartz. Current material safety data sheets,
containing safety information, are available and should be consulted before usage.
Notice: While information contained herein is correct to the best of our knowledge, Unimin Corporation hereby disclaims any warranties as to the accuracy of the same.
Recommendations or suggestions are made without guarantee or representation as to result, since conditions of usage are beyond our control. All materials are sold to Unimin
Corporation standard terms and conditions of sale and the condition that buyer shall make his own tests to determine the suitability of such product for buyer’s purpose. No statement
contained herein shall be construed as a recommendation to infringe any patent.
