Garnet

  • Garnets are a group of silicate minerals that have been used since the Bronze Age as gemstones and abrasives.
  • Garnet is usually thought of as a gemstone but most garnet is mined for industrial uses. A very small number of garnets are pure and flawless enough to be cut as gemstones. The majority of garnet mining is for massive garnet that is crushed and used to make abrasives.
  • Garnet is a prototype metamorphic rock that is utilized for its chemical properties and texture.

Industrial Application:

  • Water jet cutting abrasive blast medium and powder, coarse grains, filtering grains.
  • Garnet abrasive is a high-performance blast media that is commonly used for Cleaning of Aluminum and fiberglass Structure.
  • Including conditioning aluminum and other soft metals for use in aircraft and ships.
  • Deburring welds and grinding and polishing optical lenses.
  • Producing high-quality, scratch-free semi- conductor materials.
  • Finishing hard rubber, plastic, and wood products.
  • Glass Polishing.
  • Blast Room, Industrial Flooring.
