To know garnet sand from its seven main industrial uses
Garnet sand can be divided into two aspects: gemstones and industrial abrasives.
Usually the size of gemstones is bigger than 3mm. Because of its good price and great benefits to women’s health, it is loved by women, it is also called woman’s stone, which is also a well-known use. In fact, garnet sand is more valuable in industry. Haixu Abrasive Garnet Manufacturer will introduce you garnet sand from seven major industrial uses.
Use 1: Sandblasting
Garnet sand has moderate hardness, high specific gravity, good toughness and no free silica. It is an ideal “environmentally friendly” sandblasting material. Especially in the sandblasting, rust removal and oxide skin removal of metal stainless steel, our garnet sand can easily reach SA3 level without sand embedding.
Use 2: Wear-resistant floor aggregate
Due to the advantages of garnet sand such as high hardness, stable chemical properties and strong wear resistance, it is a common raw material for floors in highway pavements, airport runways, docks, parking lots, industrial floors and sports venues. It can also be used in automotive brake parts, special tires, special building products and other fields.
Use 3: Raw material of sandpaper and gauze
Due to its sharp corners and high hardness, it can also be used as a raw material for sandpaper, gauze and other manufacturers.
Use 4: High-density heavy medium filter material
Haixu Abrasive garnet Sand has a density of 3.9, a hardness of 8.0, and a porosity of 50%. It is used as the bottom medium of the filter bed in sewage filtration and plays a role in checking the quality of water. And because of its high specific gravity during backwashing, it will not overflow with water and mix the filter material.
Use 5: Polishing and grinding materials
Garnet powder is a powdered material. It is widely used as a high-grade grinding material in the fields of precision instrument picture tubes, optical glass, monocrystalline silicon, lenses, watch glass, crystal glass, jade, etc. In addition, it can also be used in the restoration of ancient buildings. Haixu Abrasives supplies garnet powders of various specifications.
Use 6: Water jet cutting abrasive
Water jet cutting is the main application area of garnet sand. Adding it to the water jet makes the water jet a sand-added, which greatly improves the cutting thickness, material and cutting surface smoothness. For example, the thickness of the steel plate cut by the sand-added water jet can reach more than 50mm. Because of this use, it is also called water jet sand or water cutting sand, water jet sand, and the commonly used size is 80 mesh.
Use 7: Abrasive tool filler
Garnet sand has suitable color, good hardness, toughness, suitable particle cross-section type and edge retention. It can be used as a filler to replace 20%-30% brown fused alumina in resin abrasive tools with ideal results.
