GARNET SAND
Garnet abrasive is composed of natural Almandite garnet grains that are known for their natural hardness, durability and abrasive characteristic. It is cost effective alternative to silica sand, mineral slags and steel grits and shot as the perfect symbiosis of grain size, density and hard and hardness/durability creates the optimum abrasive efficiency.
USES OF GARNET
1.Garnet for Sand blasting:—Almandine Garnet grains are the most adaptable natural blasting and cutting mediums offered in the international market today. Its intrinsic physical and chemical uniformity ensures superior performance. Garnet is steadily superseding other blasting media because it is environment friendly and reusable.The brand performs superlatively for surface preparation in the following applications:
Carbon Steel Stainless Steel Marble Ceramics Road Painting
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. Moreover, it is also effective for the elimination 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 abrasive which in turn are used for coating of metal, wood & other coated purpose. Abrasive Paper made out of abrasive grains are mainly used for the surface preparation application for painting and removing of the corrosion particles, which gives new life to surface preparation.
- 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
