Sand (Astm, Fine)
Applications & Uses
ASTM Fine Sand
ASTM fine sand is a high-quality, uniformly graded construction aggregate that meets rigorous ASTM standards for particle size and cleanliness. This material is produced by washing and screening natural sand deposits to achieve a fine, consistent texture, making it ideal for applications where smoothness and precision are essential.
The fine grading of this sand ensures excellent workability and a smooth finish, which is especially important for masonry, plastering, and as a component in concrete mixes. Its clean, fine particles reduce the risk of voids and improve the overall strength and appearance of finished surfaces. Common uses include bedding for pavers, mortar mixes, playgrounds, and as a leveling layer for patios and walkways. The main advantage of ASTM fine sand is its ability to create a stable, even base and its minimal dust content, though it is less suitable for drainage applications compared to coarser sands.
