Unwashed Sand (#200 to #8 Size Range)
Unwashed sand in the #200 to #8 size range is a naturally occurring or mechanically processed aggregate composed of fine particles. Unlike washed sand, this material retains its natural silt, clay, and dust content, which can influence its performance in various construction applications. The #200 to #8 size range means the sand particles are quite fine, making it suitable for projects that require a compactable and fillable material.
The unwashed attribute allows the sand to bind more easily, making it ideal for use as a base material under pavers, in backfilling, or for general fill where drainage is not a primary concern. It is also commonly used in landscaping, pipe bedding, and as a component in mortar mixes. However, the presence of fines and dust can make it less suitable for applications where clean, free-draining sand is required, such as in playgrounds or for mixing with concrete where strength and finish are critical. Overall, unwashed sand in this size range is valued for its affordability and compaction properties, but users should be aware of potential dust and drainage limitations.Applications & Uses
