Artificial sand, also known as manufactured sand or crushed sand, is produced by crushing high-quality rocks and stones. The common raw materials used for producing artificial sand include:
- Granite: Known for its hardness and durability, making it an excellent choice for sand production.
- Basalt: Another tough and dense rock that provides high-quality sand.
- Limestone: Offers good binding properties and is widely used in construction sand.
- Quartzite: High silica content and hardness make it suitable for sand manufacturing.
- Gneiss: Metamorphic rock with a layered structure that can be crushed into fine particles.
- Trap Rock: A form of igneous rock known for its toughness and resistance to wear.
These materials are chosen based on the desired quality, size, and application of the artificial sand, ensuring it meets the required standards for use in construction and other industries.
