Garnet sand for water jet cutting 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.
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# |
