Natural Garnet Grains, for WATER FILTRATION, Color : Reddish Brown

Listing ID #402135

We are offering natural garnet. Uses of garnet abrasive â�¢ water-jet cutting: - the largest industrial use of garnet is in waterjet cutting. A machine known as a waterjet cutter produces a high-pressure jet of water with entrained abrasive granules. When these are directed at a piece of metal, ceramic or stone, a cutting action can occur that produces very little dust and cuts at a low temperature. â�¢ abrasive blasting: - garnet granules are also used in abrasive blasting (commonly known as "sand blasting"). In these processes, a tool propels a stream of abrasive granules against a surface using a highly pressurized fluid (usually air or water) as a propellant. Abrasive blasting is done in order to smooth, clean, or remove oxidation products from metals, brick, stone, and other materials. Â�¢ filtration: - garnet granules are often used as a filter media. Small garnet particles are used to fill a container through which a liquid flows. garnet's high specific gravity and high hardness reduce bed expansion and particle abrasion during back flushing. Special fine grades of garnet abrasive are also available for aluminium, turbine blades, fibreglass and other unique surface preparation applications.
