Builders opt for Eco Sand, as it ensures a comparatively denser concrete and mortar than those made only with conventional sand with or without quarry fines. Builders in Central Travancore region have started using silica sand, a byproduct of the cement industry, for construction purposes. The micro-filling effect of Eco Sand reduces pores in concrete and provides better moisture resistivity and thus durability. Moreover, Eco Sand is substantially cheaper, reducing the construction cost.
