20# 30# Nice Foundry Sand , Ceramsite Sand For Foundries Industry
1. Ceramic Foundry Sand Introduction
Ceramsite sand (SuperSand) is also called Ceramiste, Ceramic Foundry Sand, and Nice Foundry Sand. It is an artificial foundry sand that is regarded as the right substitute for chromite sand, ziron sand, and fused silica sand. It is well regarded as a revolutionary new foundry sand.

3. Ceramic Foundry Sand General advantages
- SuperSand (Ceramsite) offers longer work life and reduction of sand usage
- SuperSand’s spherical shape compared with angular shaped grains allows for easier separation from cast parts and improved collapsibility resulting in lower scrap and casting efficiency
- SAFE – to environment compared with silica (silicosis)
- Lower thermal expansion and Thermal Conductivity. Casting dimensions are more accurate and lower conductivity provides better mold performance
- Requires 40-50% less resin
- Can be used as a single sand
- Offers lower true specific gravity and specific surface area
- Improved durability compared with other foundry sands
4. Ceramic Foundry Sand Particle Size Distribution
The particle size distribution can be custom-made according to any customer’s specific requirement.
