Garnet Grain, Sand, Powder

Garnet is an industrial gemstone comprised of a group of silicate minerals that are common rock-forming minerals in igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rock types, with high hardness and density. Garnets are a “heavy mineral” derived from either Almandite or Andradite deposits.

READE can offer a domestically mined garnet from New York.
Typical Chemical Analysis

Silicon Dioxide = 37%
Iron Oxide = 33%
Aluminum Oxide = 25%
Magnesium Oxide = 4%
Calcium Oxide = 1%
Manganese Oxide = 1%

Typical Applications

Garnet grains, sands, or powders are typically used as an abrasive and commonly as a replacement for silica sand in sandblasting. An abrasive garnet can be broadly divided into two categories, blasting grade and water jet grade, with the larger grain sizes used for faster work and the smaller ones used for finer finishes. Garnett is also used in non-skid surfaces, and garnet sand is used for water filtration media. Whole stones are used heavily as semi-precious stones.

> 60 mesh (250 micrometers) – sandblasting.
60-200 mesh (250-74 micrometers) – water jet cutting.
<200 mesh (74 micrometers) - glass polishing and lapping.

Packaging Options

50 lb. bags, poly-lined fiber drums, and bulk bags

Classification

Garnet Sand / Garnet Powder CAS Number: 1302-62-1 (almandite garnet)

Sustainable Qualities

Garnet, a naturally occurring mineral, is a sustainable material that can be used in a variety of applications such as sandblasting, waterjet cutting, and polishing. It is an abundant and durable material that does not degrade over time, making it a more environmentally friendly option than synthetic abrasives. Additionally, Garnet is often recycled and reused, contributing to a circular economy and reducing waste.

View Open Cell Metal Foam
Open Cell Metal Foam
Open cell metal foam, also known as reticulated foam, features 100% open cells with a homogenous structure. The open cells provide a path through the foam in any direction, allowing gas and liquids to pass at control flow rates and buffer pressure. Open foams have high surface area-to-volume ratios which offer large heat transfer rates. They are lightweight, with high compressive strength, stiffness, energy absorption, and low specific weight. Specific properties and applications vary based on foam material. The most popular open-cell metal foam products are Aluminum and RVC foam.

Aluminum Metal Foam
Aluminum metal foam is a fully customizable rigid, opened pore three-dimensional network of interconnected solid aluminum ligaments. The aluminum foam has a high strength-to-weight ratio, strong compression strength, and a high surface area per unit volume.
View Hemp Fiber
Hemp Fiber
Hemp Fiber (Bast Fiber) is a high-yield commercial fiber crop that grows from seed. Hemp stalks are harvested for their fibers and grow on the outside of the plant’s stalk, similar to the bark of a tree. Hemp fibers are advantageous as they are flexible, have low density and abrasiveness, and have mechanical properties comparable to glass fiber. There is also quantitative and qualitative homogeneity from one harvest to the next. Degummed Hemp Fiber is processed to remove lignin and pectin, so separated fibers are finer, softer, and more absorbent. Size ranges from ½ inch to 5 inches. Hemp Hurd is derived from the core of the hemp stalks and is also referred to as hemp shives. It looks similar to wood chips. It is porous and absorbent and naturally resistant to mold and bacteria. Raw Long Hemp Fiber is right from the stalk, non-processed, and uncombed with slight separation of fibers. Fibers range from 24 to 72 inches. Combed Hemp Fiber, also known as plumber's hemp, is untwisted and combed. Fiber length ranges from 4-5 inches long.

Electrolytic Iron
Electrolytic iron is the purest form of iron, whereby commercial iron has all impurities removed through electrolysis. This electrochemical refining process helps to ensure uniform chemical composition and tight particle size distributions. Cathode deposit is supplied as small, smooth, irregularly shaped iron pieces. Chip from bright annealed and polished high-purity electrolytic iron chips, nominally 3/32” x 3/32” (2.5 x 2.5 mm) approximately 1/64” (400 μm) thick. The chips grade is known for its extremely low sulfur and carbon content and smooth polished uniform chips, which are easy to measure and disperse. Powder grade is available as annealed, unannealed in three different mesh sizes, or kosher certified. Purity 97%+
