Introduction
The garnet is a kind of garnet consisting of iron aluminum silicate. The main colors are orange red, brown red and cherry red. The hardness is 7.5-8. It's a kind of weakly magnetic mineral, transparent, luster. It's good natural abrasive by it`s harness, high toughness, sharp edge and stable chemical property...It is also a new type of water purification material by it`s large proportion, acid, wear resistance, high strength and chemical stability
Applications
1. For glass, crystal, jade and other products.
2. For sandpaper and sponge; Surface preparation.
3. For free grinding and polishing. Resin abrasives. Coated abrasives
4. For sandblasting. Waterjet cutting. Water filtration. Stone washing.
5. For various of applications used on metal, brick, concrete and masonry.
6. For polishing of glass screen, single crystal silicon, optical lens, rust sand blasting
7. For sandblasting abrasive media, it is mainly used in remove rust, paint and corrosion,
