Products
TAM has 3 core advantages over other silica miners and processors:
- The resource – TAM’s silica was formed in situ, so it is not contaminated with impurities from transportation
- Due to the diversity of its raw material, TAM’s strength is its ability to quickly react to customers’ changing demands for new products
- TAM’s stringent QA requirements mean we deliver high quality material, in spec, every time
TAM produces various grades of product, such as – CG and FG, and the ultra-low Fe2O3 product – MX. All products contain low concentrations of colouring oxides and alkalis which is ideal for high purity glass production. Please talk to us about tailoring a grade to suit your requirements.
