Garnet abrasive sand is a naturally occurring silicate mineral deposit. The harder species of abrasive garnet, like almandine, are used for abrasive purposes due to their hardness on the Mohs scale of about 7 to 7.5, providing a perfect balance between cutting speed and superior edge quality.
Garnet sand is washed, processed, and screened to the necessary abrasive grade for use as an abrasive media in industries such as water jet cutting, sand blasting, and shot blasting. It is often used as an alternative to silica sand as it produces less dust and is safer to use. When used properly, abrasive blasting with Garnet provides comparable production rates as silica sand.
