1. Average price trend chart of natural sand for construction (period 2 weeks) (medium sand)

2. Average price trend chart of machine-made sand for construction (period 2 weeks) (medium sand) 6. Chloride ion content

of sand for construction: a total of 2751 batches of natural sand were tested for chloride ion, and the test results were less than 0.01%, accounting for 99.93%; 0.01-0.02%, accounting for 0.07%; more than 0.02%, zero; A total of 103,53 batches of machine-made sand were tested for chloride ions, and the test results showed that 99.9% of the samples were < 0.01%, 0.1% of the samples were 0.01-0.02%, and none of the samples exceeded 0.02%, all of which met the requirements of the documents and standards of the management department.
