IT'S TIME TO SHIFT M-SAND

technical characteristics of M-Sand

According to the IS-383, the chemical characteristics of M-Sand are somewhat similar to river sand. Several properties such as setting, compressive strength and permeability are enhanced in M-Sand, though it has low water retention and workability and tends to crack more often. Certain remedies can be put in place that can curb these said flaws. IS-383 mandates several specifications such as higher crushing strength for the sand, and before the final stages of production the M-Sand particles undergo processing. During this process, the particles are stimulated and crushed to a certain size, resulting in particles with superior shape and smooth surface texture. The particles are further refined by removing fine particles and impurities through sieving and washing.
