Sand (Astm, Manufactured)
Applications & Uses
ASTM Manufactured Sand
ASTM manufactured sand is a finely crushed aggregate produced to meet rigorous ASTM standards for particle size and cleanliness. Unlike natural sand, this material is engineered by crushing and screening stone, resulting in a consistent, angular grain shape that enhances its performance in construction applications.
The manufactured nature of this sand ensures minimal impurities and a uniform texture, making it ideal for use in concrete mixes, masonry work, and as a bedding layer for pavers. Its angular particles provide better interlock and compaction compared to rounded natural sands, resulting in stronger, more stable finished surfaces. Commonly used in both residential and commercial projects, ASTM manufactured sand is preferred for structural concrete, mortar, and as a base for patios and walkways. While it offers superior strength and reduced voids, it may require more water in mixes due to its angularity. Overall, this material is a reliable choice for projects demanding quality and consistency.
