Reliable Physical and Chemical Properties
With a reddish-brown color and granular, matte surface, Garnet Sand stands out for its purity (minimum 95%), excellent dimensional stability, and high compressive strength. Its low porosity and minimal water absorption (<0.1%) ensure effective filtration and consistent performance in demanding environments. The almandine composition enhances its compatibility with high-pressure and high-temperature processes.
FAQs of Garnet Sand:
Q: How is Garnet Sand used in abrasive blasting and surface preparation?
A: Garnet Sands angular granules and high hardness make it highly effective for removing rust, paint, and surface contamination. Its consistent grain size allows for uniform surface profiles, making it a popular choice in surface preparation prior to coating applications.
Q: What types of industries commonly utilize Garnet Sand, and why?
A: Industries including construction, filtration, waterjet cutting, and manufacturing rely on Garnet Sand for its high durability, strength, and capability to withstand intense conditions. Its efficiency in material cutting, cleaning, and filtration makes it a preferred abrasive and filtration medium.
Q: When should Garnet Sand be preferred over other abrasive materials?
A: Garnet Sand should be selected when high purity, low dust production, minimal water absorption, and precise, clean surface finishes are required. Its angular shape and hardness deliver superior performance, especially where environmental or respiratory safety is essential.
Q: Where can Garnet Sand be sourced in India for industrial applications?
A: Garnet Sand is widely available across India from authorized dealers, distributors, manufacturers, exporters, retailers, suppliers, and wholesalers, ensuring reliable access for both large-scale and niche industrial needs.
Q: What are the processing steps involved in preparing Garnet Sand for industrial use?
A: Raw garnet is crushed, screened, and separated based on grain size. The material is then washed and purified to remove impurities, ensuring a high-purity, angular product suitable for demanding industrial applications.
Q: How does the specific gravity and hardness of Garnet Sand benefit its industrial applications?
A: The specific gravity (4.04.2 g/cm) and Mohs hardness (7.58.0) provide Garnet Sand with the heft and resilience needed for effective surface impact during blasting and cutting, ensuring efficient operations with minimal breakdown or dust formation.
