Mason Sand with Slag

Mason sand with slag is a fine, versatile construction aggregate produced by blending high-quality masonry sand with slag, a byproduct of steel manufacturing. The addition of slag enhances the sand's durability and binding properties, making it particularly suitable for projects that require a strong, stable base or improved resistance to wear.

The fine texture of mason sand ensures a smooth, even finish, ideal for mortar mixes, bricklaying, and plastering. The slag component reduces dust and increases compaction, which is beneficial for creating level surfaces in paver installations, playgrounds, and sports courts. This combination is also valued in commercial settings for its improved load-bearing capacity and longevity. While the slag content may slightly darken the sand's appearance, it offers superior performance in high-traffic or moisture-prone areas. Overall, mason sand with slag is a reliable choice for both residential and commercial construction projects where strength and finish quality are priorities.
