Chrome Sand is often used in the moulds for automotive castings, like engine blocks and camshafts, but it is preferred for many other foundry uses because of its resilient characteristics. Chrome Sand is also used as a primary material in the production of green glass, in well fillers, and to augment the refractory fire brick technology in cement manufacturing and a component of making ladle sand
