Garnet 8-12 Mesh

Our garnet is free of silica. The main usages of our garnet are as following:
1) Sand blast cleaning for offshore rigs, pipes and others;
2) Abrasive and water jet cutting systems;
3) Fine grained garnet - powder for polishing glass TV-tubes, metal decorative stone and others;
4) Water filtration and water softening particularly for drinking water supply;
5) Grinding wheels;
6) Coated abrasive fields.
Blasting garnet Derusting by blasting is the preparation work before metal coating, usually adopted for surface treatment by shipyards. The blasting process will remove the rust on metals, smooth the metal surface, ensure the coating performance, and prolong its service life. Garnet sand is economical and practical because it can be recycled and reused for 3 to 6 times.
