Masonry Aggregate (#200 To #8)

Masonry Aggregate in #200 to #8 Size Range

Masonry aggregate in the #200 to #8 size range is a finely graded material commonly used in construction and masonry applications. This aggregate consists of particles that pass through a #8 sieve (approximately 2.36 mm) and are retained on or pass through a #200 sieve (0.075 mm), resulting in a blend of fine sand and silt-sized particles.

The fine gradation of this aggregate is ideal for producing smooth, dense mortar mixes and concrete finishes. Its small particle size allows for excellent workability and a tight bond in masonry joints, making it a preferred choice for bricklaying, block work, and plastering. Additionally, the fine texture helps achieve a uniform surface and reduces the risk of voids or weak spots in finished work. While its compactability is a major advantage for creating solid, stable surfaces, it is less suitable for drainage applications due to its low permeability.
