What is Sylhet Sand 2.5 FM?

Sylhet Sand 2.5 FM is a premium construction material sourced from the northeastern region of Bangladesh, particularly around the Surma River in Sylhet. The “2.5 FM” designation refers to its Fineness Modulus, a measurement that indicates the sand’s particle size distribution. This specific grade of sand is characterized by:

  • Well-rounded, smooth-surfaced grains

  • Consistent reddish coloration

  • Optimal particle size distribution

  • Superior strength properties

  • Chemical inertness

The unique properties of Sylhet Sand 2.5 FM make it highly sought after in the construction industry, particularly for projects requiring structural integrity and durability. The sand is primarily extracted from several areas in Sylhet, including Bisnakandi and Bholaganj, known for producing the highest quality construction sand in Bangladesh.

Why Choose Sylhet Sand 2.5 FM for Your Construction Projects?

  • Examine for consistent coloration throughout the sample
  • Look for appropriate moisture content – slightly damp but not wet

Laboratory Testing

For large projects, laboratory testing is recommended to confirm:

  • Exact fineness modulus (should be 2.5)
  • Silt content (should be minimal)
  • Organic impurities (should be absent)
  • Particle size distribution (should be well-graded)
