Sandblasting is used to clean surfaces, remove rust, oxidation, or
finishes, preparing surfaces for new coating applications.
It is highly effective for large equipment, surface prepping and paint/rust
removal
General: Garnet is a naturally occuring mineral
(Almandine) with very uniform physical chemical and micro-structural
properties. There are no free elements, all oxides are combined chemically as
an iron rich aliminosilicate.
Grain Shape: Blocky, angular, irregular, conchoidal
Characteristics: Specific gravity: 4.10
Bulk Density: 2.10 tonne/m3 (finest to coarsest).
Hardness: 7.5
- 8 Moh.
Acid Solubility:
Insoluble.
Grades Available: The most common sizes used in Water
Filtration are 0.3 / 0.6mm and 1.4 / 2.36mm.
Quality Control: Amost any size between 0.1 and 3.00mm
can be made for customer’s specific requirements
Garnets are available that are certified for use in
potable water systems. These special garnets do not release any toxic
substances into the water supply.
High Specific Gravity gives more control during critical backwash operations; less media is
lost to the overflow tanks.
