Granite is a types of felsic intrusive igneous rock that is granular and phaneritic in texture. Granite is being Crush into Different Diameters for the purpose of Aggregate in Concrete.
The size range of various coarse aggregates given below:
Fine gravel: 4mm 8mm
Medium gravel: 8mm 16mm
Coarse gravel: 16mm 64mm
Cobbles: 64mm 256mm
Boulders: > 256mm
Industry uses bentonite more for the physical properties it can develop
than for its chemical composition. Accordingly, the greatest tonnage of
bentonite is used annually for bonding, plasticizing, or suspending purposes.
In these applications, the bentonite is usually in contact with water. Thus the
clay-water characteristics are of primary importance to industry. The
chemical composition of the bentonite is a consideration only because changes
in physical properties accompany changes in chemical composition. There
arc some exceptions, and generally these can be described as instances where
the clay chemistry, as a component in a product, could be a complicating
factor.
â?¢ Blue, black, gray or brown Barite is widely used for petroleum well drilling. The applicable Barite color is selected depending on the ore body.

Construction Sand is a fundamental raw material used primarily by the construction and paving industries. Combined, with gravel they take the form of "aggregate" in concrete, portland cement, asphalt, mortar, and plaster. Construction Sand can be used alone as "fill" in the construction of building foundations, and a wide range of other applications.
Land sand available for land reclamation.
