Sand (Astm, Concrete, Multicolor)
Applications & Uses
ASTM Concrete Sand - Multicolor
ASTM concrete sand is a high-quality, multicolor aggregate specifically graded to meet ASTM standards for use in concrete mixes. Produced by crushing, washing, and screening natural stone, this sand features a consistent particle size and minimal impurities, ensuring optimal performance in concrete applications.
The ASTM grading ensures that the sand provides excellent workability and strength when mixed with cement and aggregate, making it ideal for ready-mix concrete, precast products, and masonry work. Its multicolor appearance can also add subtle visual interest to exposed concrete surfaces. This sand's clean, uniform texture reduces the risk of voids and improves the finish of concrete projects. Common uses include residential driveways, patios, sidewalks, commercial slabs, and as a bedding layer for pavers. The main advantage of ASTM concrete sand is its reliable quality and compatibility with structural concrete, though it is less suitable for applications requiring very fine or decorative sand.
