A fine-grained aggregate composed of angular particles, typically quartz, is specifically processed for use in mortar mixes. Its consistent texture and reduced clay content are critical characteristics. For example, it is frequently incorporated into mixtures used to lay bricks, stones, and blocks in construction projects.
The material’s controlled particle size distribution contributes to strong, workable mortar. This results in enhanced bond strength between building materials, increased resistance to cracking, and improved overall durability of structures. Historically, careful selection of sand types has always been integral to constructing lasting edifices.
