Garnet sand is a natural mineral abrasive primarily composed of almandine (iron-aluminum silicate) or pyrope (magnesium-aluminum silicate). With high hardness (Mohs 7-8), chemical inertness, and zero free silica, its angular crystal structure delivers exceptional cutting performance while generating minimal dust, making it an eco-friendly choice for surface treatment. Widely used in shipbuilding, aerospace, and oil pipeline industries, garnet sand is particularly suitable for applications demanding strict cleanliness and safety standards.

Key applications include:

• Waterjet cutting: Precision cutting of metals, composites, and stone
• Abrasive blasting: Removing rust/old coatings and creating highly active surfaces
• Filtration media: Serving as efficient filtration layers in water treatment
• Optical glass polishing: Processing lenses/displays requiring ultra-fine finishes

Available in mesh sizes from 20 to 220, garnet sand is customizable for specific needs. Its non-toxic nature, recyclability, and absence of hazardous dust position it as the preferred alternative to silica sand under tightening environmental regulations.
