Almandine garnet (almandine garnet sand blast/water jet cutting) is a natural abrasive in dark red color, made of garnet mineral rock. It is inert and non-toxic, environmental friendly material, has a very low dust emission,which make it an ideal abrsive media for sand blasting, sand cleaning, water jet cutting, it is also suitable for lapping, making organic bonded abrasive tools, glass polishing, and used as water filtration media, etc.
Typical applications:
- Lapping
- Making coated or bonded abrasive tools
- Sand blasting media
- Denim blasting
- Water filtration media
- Water jet-cutting abrasive
- Glass polishing
- High temperature gravel pack for deep oil wells.
