• Hydrophobic / Magic Sand  Designations:

General Chemical Name: Silicon dioxide

General Chemical Formula: SiO₂

• Hydrophobic / Magic Sand Description:

a) Hydrophobic sand is ordinary beach sand coated with tiny particles of pure silica, which have been exposed to a special chemical treatment vapors of a silicon compound called trimethylhydroxysilane, (CH3)3SiOH. When the beach sand grains are exposed to trimethylhydroxysilane, a reaction takes place resulting in the formation
of water and in the bonding of the trimethylsilane compound to the silica particles.
Following this treatment, the exteriors of the sand grains contain groups that
are insoluble in water or hydrophobic / water hating.

b)  You might visit: <http://www.acs.org/portal/Chemistry?PID=acsdisplay.html&DOC=vc2%5C1rp%5Crp1_sand.html> to learn more about hydrophobic sand, which is also called "Magic sand". Important Note: READE takes no responsibility for the descriptive contents at this external website.
