Product description
Unwashed sand is a natural aggregate in its raw state, containing natural clay, silt, and organic impurities. Supplied by Rafah Trading Est., this material offers a cost-effective solution for applications where high purity is not required, making it a staple in the Saudi construction and civil engineering sectors.
Due to its natural composition, unwashed sand is ideal for tasks that prioritize volume and base stability over surface finish or chemical purity. It is widely used in road construction, site leveling, and as a base layer for non-critical concrete mixes where the presence of fines does not compromise structural integrity.
Key Features & Applications
- Cost-Effective: Lower processing cost compared to washed sand, ideal for large-scale projects.
- Backfilling: Excellent for filling trenches, foundations, and utility lines.
- Site Preparation: Used for leveling ground surfaces before paving or construction.
- Non-Structural Concrete: Suitable for mixing concrete for footpaths, curbs, and non-load-bearing elements.
- Industrial Use: Commonly used in sandblasting preparation and certain industrial filtration systems.
Please note that unwashed sand contains natural impurities. It is recommended for use in applications where these impurities do not affect the performance or durability of the final structure. For structural concrete requiring strict quality control, washed sand is recommended.
