50Mesh Ceramsite Sand Ball Shapes High Purity / Strength For Polishing Industry
1. Ceramic Foundry Sand Introduction
Fused sand for polishing use is a neutral material without acid corrosion on the polished pieces. It has no sharpness causing no damage to workpieces. Its smooth texture polished spherical surface is a protection. NFS is fugitive without bond and polished pieces will not stick above the polished product. The polished product looks great with smooth and glossy surface.

3. Ceramic Foundry Sand General advantages
High AI2O3 mineral compositions
- Higher Refractoriness than Silica based sands (around 1850 C°)
- Much lower Thermal Expansion compared to Chromite and Zircon based sands
- Compatible with existing resin systems
Regular spherical shape
- Provide highly smooth surfaces
- Reduce binder additions
- Excellent air permeability and dispensability (reduce cleaning cost)
100% recyclable
- Cost reduce (up to around 45 times against 5-10 times for chromite based sands)
- Environment respect and health safety
4. Ceramic Foundry Sand Particle Size Distribution
The particle size distribution can be custom-made according to any customer’s specific requirement.
