  1. Manufactured or Natural Sand

  2. Manufactured or natural sand? whats the difference ? manufactured sand are crushed from either rock or waste building materials such as concrete, brick or similar materials.

  3. A natural sand however is made naturally over thousands of years by wind, rain and geological forces the result is a smooth or rounded sand with consistant mineral properties.

  4. Manufactured sand on the other hand have sharp and jaggered edges from the crushing process a manufactured sand mineral properties are usually not consistantbecuase the raw materials have come from different sources.

  5. Like all things deciding whats best depends on the application manufactured sand is effectively recycled materials and can often be manufactured close to where it going to be used and thus becomes a very cost effective solution particularly as our cities get larger and our natural sand resources become more remote.

  6. On the other hand a natural sand provides generally consistant properties which are required in decoritive finishes and specialisedapplicaions and while generally manufactured sand is ideal for re-use in concrete, motor and renders even in these applications a natural sand has some advantages.

  7. The rounded properties of a natural sand means it is more easily pumped than a manufuctured sand.

  8. Renders motors and concretes that need to be pumped long distances or to high rise buildings can be pumped further and higher when the mix contains natural sands and aggregates.

  9. YulebaMinerals glacial deposit between Roma and Chinchilla in the suratbasisn is an example of a naturally occurring sand and aggregate resource.
