Product Description

Garnet sand

Garnet sand
is a good abrasive which is used for water filtration and
as a wood finisher for furniture pieces. As an abrasive,
garnet sand can be divided into two categories: blasting
grade and water jet grade. Garnet sand is crushed into
finer grains and used for sand blasting. The larger grains
after being crushed are used for faster work while smaller
grains can be used for finer finishes. Garnet sand is
brittle and can fracture easily – which is the reason why
different types of sand are produced. Garnet sand is also
known as water jet cutting sand. It is made from
calcium-aluminium silicate and is normally used as a
replacement for silica sand in sand blasting operations.
There are various types of sandblasting media including
mineral abrasives like aluminium oxide and coal slag.
Garnet sand is the most popular sandblasting type, but
since these types create a significant amount of dust, they
are banned in many countries like Germany and Portugal to
use as a blasting grit.

Typical Applications of Garnet sand

1) As an
abrasive garnet can be broadly divided in two
categories, blasting grade and water jet grade. The
garnet, as it is mined and collected, is crushed to
finer grains; all pieces which are larger than 60 mesh
(250 micrometres) are normally used for sand blasting.
The pieces between 60 mesh (250 micrometres) and 200
mesh (74 micrometres) are normally used for water jet
cutting. The remaining garnet pieces that are finer
than 200 mesh (74 micrometres) are used for glass
polishing and lapping. Regardless of the application,
the larger grain sizes are used for faster work and the
smaller ones are used for finer finishes.

2)
Garnet sand is a good abrasive, and a common
replacement for silica sand in sand blasting.
Alluvial garnet grains which are rounder are more
suitable for such blasting treatments. Mixed with
very high pressure water, garnet is used to cut steel
and other materials in water jets. For water jet
cutting, garnet extracted from hard rock is suitable
since it is more angular in form, therefore more
efficient in cutting.


3)
Garnet paper is favoured by cabinetmakers for
finishing bare wood.


4)
Garnet sand is also used for water filtration
media.

5)
Used in non-skid surfaces and heavily as a
semi-precious stone
