How to read this: materials are grouped by base type: the native material sits on the heading line, with its variants indented below. Values are lb/ft³ / kg/m³. Estimated Bulk Density is a general representative value; Loose (poured / aerated) and Packed (tapped / settled) show only where we have that breakdown.
