Pack Size 20kg

Aggregate Size: Graded from 0.5mm to 5mm.

Bulk Density: Approximately 4.5 tonnes per m³ ( 4.5gm per cm³ )

Description & Application: Steel punchings (perforations) suitable for the manufacture of counter-weight concrete and setting in resin for marine ballast.

Heavyweight steel aggregate behaves in a similar way to "normal" sharp sand when used in a concrete mix. However, whilst similar water/cement ratios should be used, the weight of cement in a mix will be significantly reduced due to the density of the aggregate.
"Normal" concretes using natural sand aggregates may be assumed to have a cured density in the order of 2.4 tonnes per m³ a well compacted steel aggregate concrete is likely to achieve a density approximately double this figure.

Architect Specify: Coarse Heavyweight Steel Sand from Specialist Aggregates.
