Overview
Egypt, Delta Region · minimum order 100 MT. Every lot is tested at source and again at the port of loading; the Certificate of Analysis is issued before the Bill of Lading.
Egypt Globe Group is an Egyptian foundry sand supplier, shipping washed Delta silica at AFS 50–55 grain fineness on FOB, CIF or CFR terms. Containerised from 100 MT and break-bulk from 200 to 20,000 MT, loading at Damietta, Alexandria, El Dekheila and Ain Sokhna, 2–4 weeks from L/C or advance.
AFS grain fineness number is the American Foundry Society measure of average grain size — a higher number means finer sand. AFS 50–55 is the general-purpose green-sand and core-making band; finer grades give better surface finish, coarser grades better permeability and gas escape.
Full chemical and physical analysis for a nominated lot — SiO₂, clay content, moisture, LOI, grain distribution and refractoriness — is issued on the Certificate of Analysis before the Bill of Lading, and can be sent in advance against a specific enquiry.
Quality at the Core — how this product is verified
Egypt Globe Group has operated with an internal Quality Assurance division since its 2014 incorporation. Mine and port laboratory — assay, moisture and sizing on every lot; CoA issued before B/L. A lot that falls outside its Certificate of Analysis is rejected at the loading port — never re-graded or renegotiated. Independent pre-shipment inspection by SGS · Bureau Veritas · Intertek is available on every consignment. Specification is guaranteed at the port of loading and binding under the sales contract.
Origin & sourcing
Egypt, Delta Region Provenance is documented on an Egyptian Chamber of Commerce Certificate of Origin and qualifies for COMESA / PAFTA / EU-Med / AfCFTA preferential treatment where applicable. Every lot is sampled at source and re-tested at the port of loading before the Bill of Lading is issued.
