English term

Bank Sand

English to Spanish Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering Sand
This term is part of a Material Safety Data Sheet. I found some relevant information on the following webpage- http://livingearth.net/products-sand-gravel-bank-sand where it says that bak sand is used in volleyball courts.

Some more context: All grades of silica, lake or bank sand.

Translation: Todos los grados de arena de sílice, lago o playa.


Is "arena de playa" the correct translation?

Basándome en las dos definiciones que da farlex, en tu caso creo que la 2ª sería la adecuada.

He encontrado una posible TRADUCCION /OPCION - Moldeado por arena (Sand casting)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sand_casting
ver sección "2.- Processes, apartado "The air set method"
" The air set method uses dry sand bonded with materials other than clay, using a fast curing adhesive. The latter may also be referred to as no bake mold casting. When these are used, they are collectively called "air set" sand castings to distinguish them from "green sand" castings. Two types of molding sand are NATURAL BONDED (bank sand) and SYNTHETIC (lake sand); the latter is generally preferred due to its more consistent composition"
