The Earth Commodities Bundaberg Product

Sand Grading's  |  Common  Uses  |  Product Data Sheets   |  Safety Data
 
The Earth Commodities Bundaberg product at Coonarr, is unusual in that the mine can deliver material from below 250 microns up to 5mm. The company has graded the resource into three major products, which in fact occur in naturally graded layers commencing with superfine at the top and finishing with coarse on the bottom.
 
 

Earth Commodities Bundaberg - Competitive Advantage

The resource delivers some sustainable competitive advantages.

• The inherent particle size gradations coupled with the purity of chemical composition.
• Particle size gradation allows both separation into a number of closely defined particle size ranges or blending to create a size range for specific applications.
• Product differentiation resulting from chemical and physical properties enables penetration into several market segments.
• The volume and type of sand allows the company to compete in both low and high value markets
   

Earth Commodities Bundaberg - Chemical Composition

The product is white with some organic surface staining of material from the lower levels of the mine.

A number of analyses have been made by Australian Laboratory Services (a NATA registered Laboratory) and these provide data showing silicon dioxide at about 99.8% of the sand, with traces of aluminium oxide and iron oxide. There is no indication that contaminants such as shell or coral sand is present as no calcium, magnesium, potassium and sodium have been detected.

This indicates that the Earth Commodities Bundaberg product is very pure product by international standards and coupled with the size distribution, contributes to a high level of differentiation.
