CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF SANDSTONE & QUARTZITE
Chemically they are very resistant Mono-Mineralic rocks, principally of silica.
SiO2	93-94%
Iron (Fe2O3)	1.5%-1.6%
Alumina (Al2O3)	1.4 to 1.5%
Soda (Na2O) & Potash (Kro)	1.0% to 1.2%
Lime (CaO)	0.8% to 0.9%
Magnesia (MgO)	0.2 to 0.25%
Loss On Ignition (LOI)	1.0% to 1.2%.
They are highly resistant to avoids, alkalis and thermal impact. Insolubility in acids and alkalis is about 97%.
