Ceramic Sand for Binder Jet 3D Printer

Short Description:

Ceramic Sand, also named as ceramsite, cerabeads, ceramcast, is good artificial spherical grain shape which is made from calcined bauxite. Its main content is aluminum oxide and Silicon oxide. Ceramic sand, has much better properties than that of silica sand to gain a better performance in foundry. It has high refractoriness, little thermal expansion, good angular coefficient, excellent flowability, High resistance to wear, crush and thermal shock, high reclamation rate, especially the sintered ceramic sand is very suitable to Binder jet 3D printers.
