Black Sand primarily consists of natural stone containing olivine (53%), pyroxene (43%), and quartz (4%), with traces of silica (STOT RE1, H372).

The quality of Black Sand directly impacts the strength and durability of concrete and plaster. High-quality sand ensures better bonding and reduces the risk of cracks in finished surfaces.

Black Sand should be stored in a dry place to prevent moisture absorption which can affect its quality. It is best kept in a sealed bag or container to maintain its fine texture.

Yes, Black Sand can be used for decorative landscaping and as a top dressing in gardens. Its unique colour adds aesthetic value to various outdoor projects.

While Black Sand is commonly used in construction, it is important to note that certain types may contain carcinogenic properties. Always refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for specific handling instructions and safety precautions.

The Black Sand is high-quality and fine in texture, making it suitable for various construction tasks. It typically comes in a standard bag size, which may vary by supplier.

Black Sand is primarily used for construction purposes, including concrete mixtures, plastering, and surface treatments. Its fine texture makes it ideal for paving and landscaping applications.
