Sand (Washed, Ca-C)
Applications & Uses
Washed Ca-C Sand
Washed Ca-C sand is a high-quality construction aggregate that has been thoroughly cleaned to remove silt, clay, and other impurities. The "Ca-C" designation indicates a calcium carbonate-rich composition, making this sand particularly suitable for applications where chemical stability and purity are important.
The washing process ensures minimal dust and debris, resulting in a cleaner, more consistent material that is ideal for mixing in concrete, mortar, and stucco. Its purity and fine texture also make it a preferred choice for masonry work, playgrounds, and sports fields, where a smooth, safe surface is essential. In addition, washed Ca-C sand is commonly used as a bedding material for pavers and as a base for pool installations, thanks to its excellent drainage properties and ease of compaction. The main advantage of this sand is its cleanliness and uniformity, which contribute to stronger, more durable finished projects. However, because it is washed, it may be less suitable for applications where some natural binding is desired.
