Is this silica-free sand?

I don't know about silica but it is good sand and doesn't stick to children's hands which is what I was looking for when I purchased it.

I don't even know. Sorry I couldn't have been of more assistance, I purchased this sand for something other than an aquarium, I don't even know what silica-free is. Maybe if you contact the seller they should know.

It looks to be crystalline silica, like normal sand grains. Just very well sorted, and cleaner than normal play sand silica grains.

It should be, is just glass, my chemical tests stayed more stable with this glass sand than with the cilica sand I was using, the silica sand was entering to my pool and wasnt filtering ok, this glass sand is amazzing, and is supoused to filter even more small particles, like ecoli, blod cells, etc wich cilica cant, hope i help, I dont speak english so, sorry because my bad english

I don't know. I bought the sand box from Brookstone and the sand from another retailer. However, the sand is advertised as never drying out (as is the sand I purchased). What I found though about my version of kinetic sand is that while the sand did not dry out per se, it does begin to harden over time (I've had mine 6 months). I do keep my sand in a covered container when not in use; I'd recommend some kind of covering. I just use a Tupperware container.

NO, it is not.. The sand is super cool but won't keep the shape the same way..

I ask then the same question on their website their reply is "it's safe".Is it silica free: I would assume not unless they says otherwise and it look like they are others peoples waiting for that answer..I drink the milk OK, and I filter it 3 times before bottling it.. not sure if that help as silica particle are really small. but...

It's not corn, more like grey sand. Good clumping, but I found it to be very dusty. Maybe just a bad bag. My son loves it. One good thing is it controls odor. I prefer World's Best Cat Litter.

Both have 98% sand and 2% polymer, so I would assume so unless there is a significant difference in the sand and or polymer quality.

In the list of ingredients, it says "Montmorillonite (a natural mineral silicate). 100% pure." I'm sorry, but I have yet to try it.

The best way to understand the attributes of "Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth" is to just type that into your computer, but to answer your question it is about 85% silica. Don't let this scare you off as this product has many very good qualities. I mix this with my chicken feed and have been doing this for several years. My wife uses it in her garden as a pest control and i use it as a dust bed for my chickens to dust in to clean them from mights and other parasites common to chickens. I am a safety and health professional in the mining industry and know about the silica that comes from the mining process. I have messed with Diatomaceous Earth for over 40 years of and on and have had no - problems with it only + results. Howard J. Campbell of Oracle, AZ 85623

I've only used the sand for my grandson's small standup sandbox. The sand is very fine, clean, and soft. I hope this helps.

Hi. I looked at the writing on the box and label on the bottom. The label says it is ultra-fine micro-silica. There isn't an ingriedients list.

I ordered this some months ago, but I don't recall seeing silica listed in the ingredients or a pocket of it in the powder.

Our instructions say it takes 100 lbs of No. 20 silica sand. We buy two 50-lb bags of filter sand at a home improvement-type store that sells pool supplies.

Yes the sand is already in the hourglass. Not removable unless you break the glass either.
