P Sand (also known as Plaster sand or Plastering sand) , is
meticulously processed for plaster and refined
applications. It is essential for achieving a smooth and
long-lasting finish on walls and surfaces. On the other
hand, M Sand, short for manufactured sand, is made from
crushing larger stones into smaller particles serving
diverse purposes for construction needs. In this type
of sand 20mm, 10mm, 6mm stone sizes are
available.
-
Particle Size : According to IS
Code 1542, the ideal particle size
should be 0.15 mm to 2.36 mm.
- Texture : P Sand has a finer and
smoother texture when compared to some
other types of sand.
- Gradation : P Sand is often well
graded with the inclusion of 600 microns
for the use of plastering.
- Water Consumption : Consumes very
less
water.
- Workability : It is well-known for
good workability, making it easy to
spread and apply during plaster,
reducing labor efforts.
-
It may not be suitable for all
construction needs as it is only
tailored for plastering.
- P sand may have limited availability
depending on the geographical location.
