It is the most precious natural resource you have probably never thought of, second only to water in annual tonnage consumed.

Lately, we’ve been using a lot of outdated tech. from construction to water purification. This phase of experimental learning has left us with a new kind of problem, shortage of river sand!

As a solution to this problem, and also to update our material technology, we’ve stopped playing with rocks and have made artificial sand from these.

With our ever increasing demand for resources, how are we building our houses?

mSand — The Miracle Sand

Manufactured(m) Sand is produced by crushing hard granite into microscopic cubical forms, then washed and graded for construction use. mSand has,

  1. Greater Durability
  2. Higher Strength
  3. Greater Workability
  4. Better Finish &
  5. is Eco Friendly

River sand needs to be cleaned of debris, plant material, clay, bigger stones/pebbles, and needs to be sieved for various uses. mSand is manufactured as per these requirements and hence also becomes an economic replacement for river sand.

Lets build cleaner and stronger buildings with mSand!
