Sand (Calcium)
Applications & Uses
Calcium Sand
Calcium sand is a specialized construction aggregate composed primarily of calcium-rich particles, often derived from crushed limestone or similar sedimentary rock. This material is valued for its high calcium content, which can enhance the strength and durability of concrete and mortar mixes.
The calcium attribute makes this sand particularly suitable for projects where chemical stability and improved bonding are important, such as masonry work, plastering, and the production of lime-based mortars. In addition to its use in construction, calcium sand is also commonly used in landscaping, soil conditioning, and as a base material for pavers. Its mineral composition can help neutralize acidic soils and promote healthy plant growth. While calcium sand offers excellent workability and contributes to long-lasting results, it may not be ideal for applications requiring high compaction or where a more decorative finish is desired.
