Description
GARNET SAND:
Garnet abrasive is composed of natural Almandite garnet grains that
are known for their natural hardness, durability and abrasive
characteristic. It is cost effective alternative to silica sand,
mineral slags and steel grits and shot as the perfect symbiosis of
grain size, density and hard and hardness/durability creates the
optimum abrasive efficiency.
USES OF GARNET:
1.Garnet for Sand blasting:—Almandine Garnet grains are the most
adaptable natural blasting and cutting mediums offered in the
international market today. Its intrinsic physical and chemical
uniformity ensures superior performance. Garnet is steadily
superseding other blasting media because it is environment friendly
and reusable.The brand performs superlatively for surface
preparation in the following applications:
Oil & Petroleum industry maintenance,
refineries, oil wells etc.
Shipbuilding, repair yards, shipyards for
blasting.
Bridges, rail tanks, new buildings.
Denim Blasting. It is utilized for stone
washing of denim fabrics, offering only the fading of dye without
damaging the cloth or stitching.
