Carbo's product shape allows for a significant reduction of binding agent required because you are not wasting product on coating fines. At the same time, mold permeability is significantly enhanced.
A piece of the payback is reduced binder.

Grain distribution control is a primary factor in this material. The product is not cheap, but you are also not paying a dime for any unwanted size particle. Carbo is known for well controlled, tight material distribution. Additionally, since it hardly wears like natural minerals, the size and shape you buy are the size and shape you retain.
