Marble Dust Density

Marble is a metamorphic rock composed of recrystallized carbonate minerals most commonly calcite or dolomite marble is typically not foliated although there are exceptions in geology the term marble refers to metamorphosed limestone but its use in stonemasonry more broadly encompasses unmetamorphosed limestone.

Streak is the color of rock when it is crushed or powdered. Luster of marble is the interaction of light with the surface of marble. Luster of marble is dull to pearly to subvitreous. The hardness of marble is 3 4 whereas its compressive strength is 115 00 n mm 2.

Marble is commonly used for sculpture and as a building material. Marble dust is a primary ingredient in acrylic gesso a surface primer for canvases and other surfaces intended for painting. This paper focus on the utilization of waste of marble dust powder in concrete and enhancement of strength of concrete more economically. The density increases as the wt of marble dust increases and may be attributed to the fact that ldpe has a lower density compared to marble dust density.
