Ceramsite Sand

Ceramsite Sand, also known as expanded clay aggregate, is a lightweight, high-performance material produced by the thermal expansion of clay or shale in rotary kilns. This process results in a porous, spherical aggregate with excellent properties for various construction and industrial applications. Ceramsite Sand is valued for its lightweight nature, thermal insulation, and high strength-to-weight ratio.

  • Product Category: Abrasive & Material
  • Key Features:
  • Lightweight: Ceramsite Sand has a low bulk density, making it ideal for use in applications where weight reduction is important.
  • High Strength: Despite its lightweight nature, it possesses impressive compressive strength, providing durability and support in construction applications.
  • Thermal Insulation: Despite its lightweight nature, it possesses impressive compressive strength, providing durability and support in construction applications.
  • Porosity: Its porous structure provides excellent drainage and water retention properties, beneficial for various horticultural and construction uses.
  • Chemical Resistance: Resistant to most chemicals, ensuring stability and durability in a range of environments.
Applications:

Metal Casting: Used as a molding and core material in the production of cast metal parts, including ferrous and non-ferrous alloys, to achieve high-quality and precise castings.

Foundry Industry: Ideal for use in various foundry processes, including sand casting, shell molding, and investment casting, where high performance and accuracy are required.

Refractory Applications: Applied as a refractory material in high-temperature environments, such as in furnaces and kilns, due to its thermal stability and resistance to chemical reactions.

Precision Casting: Utilized in the casting of complex and high-precision components where consistency and accuracy are critical.
