PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Utility Sand is produced from high-purity

industrial quartz for a use in a wide

variety of applications that require a

chemically inert, durable structural filler

such as floor overlays, finish coat stucco,

and sports turf. With consistently uniform

grain shapes and particle distribution,

this basic building material offers

excellent compaction, placement, and

mechanical properties. The high silica

content is combined with low level

soluble ions, alkalis, and alkaline oxides

to provide non-reactive service in most

corrosive and exposed environments.

WHEN/WHERE TO USE

 Mineral filler used in high-solids

emulsions, elastomerics, cemented,

and modified cementious systems

 Commercial and residential uses

ADVANTAGES

 Excellent compaction, placement, and

mechanical properties

 Non-reactive in most corrosive and

exposed environments

 Cost effective

 High strength and durable

 Monocrystalline structure

 100% natural minerals

AVAILABLE SIZE

 50 lb. (22.7 kg) bag (BOM #105764)

TYPICAL YIELD

One 50 lb. bag contains approximately

0.5 cu. ft.
