Sand - C-33 Specification

C-33 sand is a high-quality, washed concrete sand that meets ASTM C-33 standards for use in concrete production and other construction applications. This material is carefully processed to remove impurities, resulting in a clean, consistent product with excellent gradation and minimal dust.

The C-33 specification ensures that the sand is free of clay, silt, and organic matter, which improves the strength and durability of finished concrete. Its clean, coarse texture provides optimal drainage and compaction, making it ideal for mixing with cement for concrete, as well as for use as a bedding layer under pavers, in septic systems, and for pipe bedding. C-33 sand is also commonly used in masonry work and as a base for playgrounds and sports fields. Its washed nature reduces dust and enhances workability, though it may be less suitable for applications requiring very fine or decorative sand.
