Advantages of rock garnet sand

Advantages of rock garnet sand
Rock garnet sand is mainly processed from garnet ore. It has many significant advantages and is widely used in sandblasting, water jet cutting, surface treatment and other fields. The following are its main advantages:
‌High hardness and excellent toughness‌: The Mohs hardness of garnet sand reaches 7.5-8.0, with good toughness, not easy to break under high-speed impact, and can be reused more than 20 times, significantly reducing the cost of consumables.
‌Sharp crystal structure and efficient grinding force‌: Its crystals are polyhedral structures with sharp edges and corners, which can quickly remove surface coatings, rust or oxide layers, forming an ideal rough surface, enhancing the adhesion of subsequent coatings, and improving work efficiency.
‌Chemical stability and safety‌: The main component is aluminum silicate, which is chemically inert, non-toxic and does not react with metal, glass and other substrates. It is suitable for sensitive fields such as precision electronics and food equipment; it is resistant to acid and alkali corrosion and suitable for harsh environments such as chemical industry.
‌Environmentally friendly and sustainable‌: low crushing rate, less dust pollution, improved working environment and reduced occupational disease risks; the recyclability is over 90%, and it can be recycled 3-5 times in most scenarios, which is in line with environmental protection trends.
‌Self-sharpening and durability‌: particles can break to form new sharp edges during cutting or grinding, maintaining efficient cutting capabilities; strong wear resistance, reducing replacement frequency, ensuring the stability and economy of the processing effect.
‌Controllable particle size and diversified applications‌: wide particle size distribution range (such as 6-2000 mesh), can be adapted to the entire process from rough grinding and rust removal to fine polishing, suitable for water jet cutting of metal/stone, sandblasting and rust removal, building materials reinforcement, chemical catalysis and other fields.
With the above advantages, garnet sand has become the preferred alternative to high-energy-consuming artificial abrasives such as brown corundum, and continues to increase its market share in industrial development
