Particle Size: Concrete sand is typically coarser than other types of sand. It has a well-graded particle size distribution, with particles ranging from small to larger sizes.

Cleanliness: Concrete sand is often washed and screened to remove impurities, clay, silt, and other contaminants that could negatively affect the performance of concrete or construction projects.

Angular Shape: The angular shape of concrete sand particles provides better interlocking and binding properties when mixed with cement and water.

Applications

Concrete Production: Concrete sand is a fundamental component of concrete mixes. It is combined with cement, water, and aggregate (such as gravel or crushed stone) to create concrete. The sand fills the voids between larger aggregate particles, giving the concrete its strength, stability, and workability.

Mortar Mix: Concrete sand is used as a key ingredient in mortar mixes, which are used for masonry applications such as bricklaying, blocklaying, and stone installation. Mortar provides adhesion between masonry units and acts as a binding agent.

Paving and Grouting: Concrete sand is used to create a stable base for paving stones, pavers, and bricks. It can also be used in the grouting process to fill gaps between pavers or stones, creating a cohesive surface.

Structural and Foundation Work: Concrete sand is used in various structural and foundation projects. It can be used as a bedding material for pipes, drainage systems, and utility trenches.
