Garnet Abrasive Sand
Garnet abrasive sand may be a present salt mineral deposit. The garnet is used as a gemstone in past or ancient times. Abrasive transparent gem sand is recycled and used as a cheap difference to alumina Girt, Chilled Iron, or Steel Grit shot. the garnet is created less dust as compare to different abrasive sand so we mostly use garnet sand shot.
Garnet Abrasives
Garnet abrasive sand was firstly used by industrial areas transparent gem may be a comparatively arduous mineral with a hardness that ranges between 6.5 and 7.5 on the scale. that permits it to be used as an efficient abrasive in many sorts of producing. once crushed, it breaks into angular items that give sharp edges for cutting and sanding. tiny granules of uniform size square measure guaranteed to paper to provide a cerise color sandpaper that's wide employed in trade retailers. the transparent gem is additionally crushed, screened to specific sizes, and oversubscribed as abrasive granules and powders.
Features of Garnet Abrasive Sand
1. It is mined from almandine and andradite mineral deposits in India.
2. Garnet Sand is a semi-precious stone.
3. Once extracted, it is washed, processed, and screened to the necessary grade for use as an abrasive media.
4. It breaks down less readily.
5. It's one of the most effective, safe, and versatile media for blast cleaning.

Benefits of Garnet Abrasive Sand Blasting Media
- Abrasive Garnet sand is the optimum abrasive for use in our SAT Blast Wet Blast Unit for most applications.
- Clean – Garnet abrasive sand produces less dust than other expendable abrasives, making it ideal for use in tanks and other confined spaces.
- Abrasive garnet sand abrasive lasts a long time.
- it is semi-reusable and can be re-used several times under correct conditions. It does break down quicker than fully re-usable abrasives such as aluminum oxide.
5. Garnet abrasive creates a superior surface for adhesion coating. Abrasive Garnet Sand is inert and non-toxic, making it safe for use around bodies of water. It is also very easy to clean, whilst its durability reduces the generation of dust.
Application of Garnet Abrasive Sand
1. Garnet Abrasive is Used in Sand Blasting
Almandine Garnet grains are the most adaptable natural blasting and cutting mediums offered in international marketing today. Its intrinsic or natural blasting physical and chemical regularly ensures the superior performance of the abrasive garnet blasting. abrasive garnet is steadily superseding other blasting media because it is environmentally friendly and reused able.
- Oil & Petroleum industry maintenance, refineries, oil wells, etc.
- Shipbuilding, repair yards, shipyards for blasting.
- Bridges, rail tanks, new buildings.
- Denim Blasting. It is utilized for stone washing of denim fabrics, offering only the fading of dye without damaging the cloth or stitching
2. Garnet for Water Jet Cutting
In the Water jet cutting the Grade, 80/120 are perfectly suitable for the Water jet cutting Media in the Industrial purpose. Regularly in grain size & shape give excellent performance for the users. It is perfectly suitable for the uses are given example Carbon Steel, Road Painting, Marble Ceramics, and Stainless Steel.
3. Garnet for Water Filtration
Garnet is possibly the most cost-effective alternative for water filtration beds as it resets the filter bed more rapidly after the bed is back-flushed. In addition, it is also effective for the elimination or rejection of heavy minerals. Furthermore, it has the benefit of being chemically inert, recycle in resulting in longer production to Water treatment medium.
4. Garnet for Abrasive Paper
Abrasive grains are highly useful for coated abrasion which in turn are used for coating metal, wood & other coated purpose. Abrasive Paper made out of abrasive grains is mainly used for the surface preparation application for painting and removing of the corrosion particles, which gives new life to surface preparation.
