Introduction of Pink Garnet Sand
Pink garnet sand is a chemically inert non-metallic mineral commonly found in the natural environment. Garnet has high specific gravity. Its chemical, hardness, and durability properties market garnet and ideal filtration media and abrasive media. Garnet is a naturally occurring gem mineral with uniform physical, chemical, hardness, friability, and micro-structure characteristics, which provide the essential properties for filtration and abrasive industrial uses.

Main Application of Pink Garnet Sand
- Water Filtration
Garnet filter sand is a hard rock garnet and is mined from an almandite garnet deposit. It is ideal for use as the water filtration-grained layer in multi-media systems. Garnet filter sand provides uniform physical characters, chemical and microstructure characteristics. There are no free elements. All oxides are combined. - Sand blasting and polishing material
This is the most potent and widely used garnet abrasives field because it is used in industries closely related to national production, such as shipbuilding, automobiles, pipelines, drilling platforms, and other essential areas. Garnet blasting abrasives can easily reach the most strict industrial and military sandblasting requirements. Besides, it does harmless to the human body and environment, the working environment is right, and it is affordable. Therefore, it can easily replace other traditional blasting abrasives. - Water cut grade garnet abrasive.
This is one of the two applications in using garnets in domestic, mainly with the advanced cold water jet cutting equipment to cut and shape various materials. The quality of using the garnet abrasive greatly influences cutting performance and the yield rate, especially in the ceramic tile, art glasses, and fragile products of water jet medallion. It has been widely used in aviation, military, stone, construction, decoration, and other refined processing enterprises.
