UG-Mat Foundry Sand | Recycled Materials Resource Center

For use in flowable fill, spent foundry sand must be managed to ensure that the sand is clean and processed to the proper sand size. Because both spent foundry sand and fly ash contain porous carbon that uptakes water, to maximize the use of foundry sand, fly ash should be used in lesser amounts, which therefore uses less water and cement.
