High Purity Garnet Sandblasting Sand / 80 Grit 100 Grit Garnet Sand
Alluvial Garnet Mesh 8/12 18/35 20/40 80/100 Garnet Sand for Sandblating Abrasive Water Jet Cutting
1. Garnet Introduction
Garnet sandblasting sand is a andine rock garnet. It’s mined from a hard rock deposit consisting of extremely aggressive and sharp grains.
The extremely low chloride levels of Rock Garnet reduces the chance of chloride contamination. Rock Garnet’s unique characteristics improve production rates, reduce abrasive usage, and lower disposal and clean-up costs. High purity rock garnet provides fast cutting, ideal for removing thin to medium thickness coatings, mill scale, and rust.

4. Garnet Characteristics
| Color | Type | Mohs Hardness | Production Process | Applications | Available Sizes |
| Dark brown color garnet sand | Rock sand. | 8.0 | Crushing and washing process. | Sandblasting, rust removal, Water filtration, etc. | 8-14#,10-20#,16-20#,20-40#,30-60#,80# |
| Brown color garnet sand (Red) | Rock sand | 7.5-8.0 | Crushing and washing process. We wash rock sand up to 6 times. So it’s of high purity. | Sandblasting, rust removal with low conductivity, water filtration, etc. | 8-14#,10-20#,16-20#,20-40#,30-60#,80#,120# |
| Pink color garnet sand (light) | River sand | 7.5-8.0 | alluvial garnet sand was scouring and washing by river water. It is Cleaner and with less sharp edges than rock sand. | Sandblasting, water jet cutting with less blocking in nozzles. | 10-20#,20-40#,30-60#,80# |
| Pink-red color garnet sand | Sea sand, | 8.0 | It is alluvial garnet sand. The sand source was formed by the ancient rock near the sea. So it’s very clean and with high purity. | Especially for water jet cutting without blocking in nozzles. | 60#,80# |
