Abrasive garnet sand for sandblasting
Garnet sand is a non-metallic naturally obtainable mineral abrasive belonging to the silicate family. As Almandine garnet, it is the heaviest and hardest of garnets. Due to suitable hardness, physical and chemical properties, it's used widely for water jet cutting, Sandblasting, water filtration. With its crystalline shape giving a fast cutting action and longer life span, Garnet is a kind of ideal, environment-friendly and efficient natural abrasive.
Garnet sand is a gemstone with excellent naturally abrasive properties. This hard abrasive is fast-cutting, low-dust producing and low-consuming, excellent for removing tough coatings, paint, rust and mill scale from steel. Garnet also permits precise feathering control. A good general outdoor surface preparation abrasive.

Available of natural garnet sand of different colors:
Color Type Mohs Hardness Production Process Applications Available Sizes
Dark brown color garnet sand Rock sand. 8.0 Crushing and washing process. Sandblasting, rust removal, Water filtration, etc. 8-14#,10-20#,16-20#,20-40#,30-60#,80#
Brown color garnet sand (Red) Rock sand 7.5-8.0 crushing and washing process. We wash rock sand up to 6 times. So it's of high purity. Sandblasting, rust removal with low conductivity, water filtration, etc. 8-14#,10-20#,16-20#,20-40#,30-60#,80#,120#
Pink color garnet sand (light) River sand 7.5-8.0 alluvial garnet sand was scouring and washing by river water. It is Cleaner and with less sharp edges than rock sand. Sandblasting, water jet cutting with less blocking in nozzles. 10-20#,20-40#,30-60#,80#
Pink-red color garnet sand Sea sand, 8.0 It is alluvial garnet sand. The sand source was formed by the ancient rock near the sea. So it's very clean and with high purity. Especially for water jet cutting without blocking in nozzles. 60#,80#
