Features & Benefits
  • Strength and Durability: The angular nature of sharp sand grains contributes to a stronger bond in concrete, enhancing its load-bearing capacity.
  • Improved Workability: Helps to create a more workable mix, making it easier to spread and level concrete.
  • Reduced Shrinkage: The coarse texture helps to reduce shrinkage and cracking in the set concrete.
  • Enhanced Adhesion: Provides excellent adhesion properties for concrete, ensuring long-term structural integrity.
  • Cost-Effective: Sharp sand is generally more affordable than other specialized sands, making it a cost-effective option for large-scale concreting projects.
