Ceramsite Sand

Application of Ceramsite Sand：

1. Widely used in foundry techniques like resin-bonded sand, sodium silicate sand, and clay-bonded sand for sand core and casting mould making.
2. Replace chromite sand and widely used in the sand core making like jacket core, oil duct core, and engine’s tappet core.
3. Replace chromite sand for steel casting facing sand and sub-layer of molding sand (backing sand).
4. Widely used as dry sand and sand box for EPC process and V method of casting processes.
5. Widely used as the main raw materials of advanced refractory products (Ladle drainage sand,gravity casting material, casting coating, etc.).
6. Widely used as cleaning sand for copper and aluminum alloy castings.

Advantage of Ceramsite Sand:

1. Perfectly round shape with higher fluidity improves fill-in efficiency while reducing the resin leve
2. The smooth surface of the spherical shape greatly improves collapsibility after pouring.
3. Very low thermal expansion ensures fewer or no casting defects such as veining and deformation.
4. Excellent thermal conductivity and heat absorption capacity close to that of Zircon
5. Superior refractory equivalent to Zircon and Chromites
