MagnaDense is a high density aggregate, used as heavy weight ballast in many applications; either as a loose ballast aggregate or incorporated into concrete.
Whether your need is for heavy weight to balance a bridge, to keep a gravity-based structure in place, to make a counterweight for heavy vehicles or any other ballast project, you’ll need a high density material to get the right weight for your design.
