Sand (#200 To 1/2″, Manufactured)
Applications & Uses
Manufactured Sand in #200 to 1/2" Size Range
Manufactured sand in the #200 to 1/2" size range is a finely crushed aggregate produced by mechanically breaking down larger rocks, typically limestone, granite, or basalt. Unlike natural sand, this product is engineered to achieve consistent particle sizes and shapes, making it a reliable alternative for various construction needs.
The #200 to 1/2" size range offers a blend of fine and coarse particles, which enhances compaction and stability in mixes. This makes manufactured sand ideal for use in concrete production, asphalt, bedding for pavers, and as a base material for walkways and patios. Its controlled gradation reduces voids, resulting in stronger finished surfaces. Additionally, manufactured sand contains fewer impurities and less organic material than natural sand, minimizing the risk of shrinkage or cracking in finished projects. However, its angular texture may make it less suitable for applications requiring a smooth finish, such as playgrounds or beach areas.
