There is a lot of expertise with sand slurry systems in the oil patch.  Contact anyone of the major service companies such as BJ Services, Halliburton, Schlumberger, Baker, etc.,  who perform gravel packing services and ask to speak with their gravel pack application engineers or chemists.  They have sized sand as well as a variety of polymers to create a jelled slurry.  Southwest Reseach Institute in San Antonio used to do API 14A for SCSSV.  They may be willing to give you a hand.  Good Luck.
