Binds better with cement than natural sand and flows and finishes better too.
Make great performing concrete, yet significantly reduce the levels of VMAs, water reducers, setting retardants and cement needed.
The ability to fine-tune the 600µ to 75µ range provides excellent flexibility for meeting stringent specifications and specialised applications
Made from crusher dust and recycled materials using a process that conserves natural resources and makes strong concrete with 20% less cement.
Used in over 320 plants worldwide.
That makes the most of what’s taken out of the ground. Crusher dust. Particles all passing. Recycled glass and concrete. Slag.
Engineered sand is a viable replacement for natural sand in concrete and significantly contributes to the industry hitting their carbon emissions targets by 2050.
