Silica comes in two different forms: crystalline silica and amorphous. Crystalline silica, unlike amorphous, is hazardous to worker health. Workers in these industries can be exposed to crystalline silica when they cut, grind or break down the same materials that the heavy equipment works around, such as concrete, sand, , stone and others ...

The soda reduces the sand's melting point, which helps to save energy during manufacture, but it has an unfortunate drawback: it produces a kind of glass that would dissolve in water! The limestone is added to stop that happening. The end-product is called soda-lime-silica glass. It's the ordinary glass we can see all around us.

After all, the reason for the stigma against silica sand blasting is because silica dust causes silicosis. How could there be a threat of silicosis in a dust-free environment? If the manufacturer claims the system is "dustless" or "dust-free", but does not recommend blasting with silica sand, you should be skeptical of their claim.
