Chromite sand is a naturally occurring spinel consisting primarily of the oxides of chrome and iron. It is a by-product of ferro-chrome production and is mainly used in foundry applications and in glass production.

How to Choose grit size?
Generally,the smaller casting need to make, the finer grit size foundry adopted.The following frame shows it for reference:
Less than 500KGS | 500-1000KGS | 1-10 Tons | 10-30 Tons | 30-100 Tons |
