Energy surcharges
It requires energy to produce, and transport refined silica sand. At the same time, the world is affected by sharply fluctuating energy prices, which have an impact on our production and freight costs.
To compensate for the fluctuations, our goods and freight charges are each subject to an energy surcharge. Both types of surcharges are variable, which means that they are adjusted as market prices for energy rise and fall. On this page you can stay informed about the current energy surcharges.
