Sklopísek Střeleč, joint stock company produces high quality glass, foundry, technical, filtration and sport sands, fine milled silica flour. The Střeleč area represents the largest deposit of prime quality glass sand within the Czech Republic. The sands have been extracted and processed since 1939. The quarry is located 12 kilometres to the northwest of Jičín. The deposit originated by sediments settling into a relatively shallow, well-aerated sea of the Mesozoic, Cretaceous formation. The deposit is created by sandstones cemented by kaolin with content of SiO 2 above 98,5. The dominant fraction in granularity is 0 up to 0,63 mm. The quality of sand is positively affected by very low content of colouring oxides Fe 2 O 3,TiO 2,Al 2 O 3.The deposit is being extracted by the open-cast mining in the quarry. Natural high purity sands from Sklopisek Střeleč are basic raw materials for production of crystal, container and flat glass and glass fibres. The Střeleč sands have a wide sphere of use in the foundry and building industries. They are a raw material for the production of bonding cements, levelling and joint compounds, special building mortars and plasters. The sands are also used as a filler info the industrial floors because of the compression strength. Further use is for production of glaze and enamels. The chemical purity and favourable particle size distribution of the sand are appreciated in other industrial sectors such as the electrical, ceramic, construction, rubber industries, in water treatment and in the production of water glass. Important use is also in the production of garden substrates, construction and maintenance of sport natural and artificial surfaces, it means golf courses, football pitches, tennis courts and multi-sport playing areas. All produced sands have been exempted from registration requested by REACH Regulation and meet hygienic limits for outside sandpits and playing fields according to the relevant Czech legislation. Above that Technical sands meet legislative requirements for products, which are in touch with potable water and for water treatment. Bureau Veritas Quality International awarded Sklopísek Střeleč certificate ISO 9001 in 1998 and certificates ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 in 2003.

MICRO-MILLED SANDS The micro-milled sands silica flour are produced by milling in a ironless environment, by classification with use of air separators. The raw material used for the production of micro-milled sands silica flour is treated silica sand with SiO 2 content above 99. The chemical purity, favourable particle size distribution, chemical inertia and hardness of micro-milled sands silica flour is appreciated in the production of glass fibres, ceramic enamels, glazes, as a filler in plastics, in the production of special mortar mixtures, tile adhesives and in the foundry industry for the production of moulds. The sands are being sold dried, in bulk or in bags, transported on trucks or wagons.

SPORT SANDS - SportTop ST 40 ST 52 ST 53 ST 54 ST 56 ST 93 The ST 40 is suitable for low budget soccer pitches which have been built on native soil with a drainage system e.g. school and council pitches. Your best choice for top dressing and root zone of golf greens. For golf greens it is now recognised worldwide that medium sand (250-500 microns) should dominate the particle size range. This sand has over 80 in the medium sand range and 14 in the fine sand. It is also suitable for beach volleyball. The ST 53 is a very good sand for a USGA soccer construction and top dressing and also for golf green root zone and top dressing. When fairways have been constructed with the native soils, most of these soils are high in silt and clay content and therefore drain poorly. To improve the structure and drainage the ST 54 is ideal. It has 24 medium sand and 66 fine sand. Because this sand is predominately a fine sand it will blend better with the silt and clay with less segregation than if you used a coarser sand. It is also suitable for beach volleyball. Thesesandsareusefulforequestrianuseastheyarepredominatelyfineandvery fine sands. Therefore giving suitable stability for this application. The ST 93 sand is a very good blinding sand when used in the three tier system over a 10-6 mm gravel in a USGA root zone construction. This would perch well and give excellent drainage. Because of it coarse nature it would flow well and could be used for narrow slit drainage systems on soccer pitches which have become capped. It is also suitable for beach volleyball. Above mentioned data are only indicative.
