Almandine garnet is a natural abrasive that is suitable for sandblasting and water jet cutting applications. It is composed of iron aluminum silicate and has a hardness of 7.5-8 on the Mohs scale. It has a high density, high specific gravity, and high resistance to fracture. Some of the benefits of using almandine garnet are:
It is environmentally friendly, non-toxic, and free of silica dust.
It has a low consumption rate, which reduces costs and waste.
It produces a uniform surface profile, which improves coating adhesion and performance.
It can be recycled up to 5 times, depending on the application and equipment.
It can cut through any material, including metal, stone, glass, ceramic, etc.
