Applications

Garnet is used in versatile range of applications spanning over several industries including Refineries, Chemical Plants, Oil & Petrochemical Industries and construction & maintenance of ships, offshore structures, oil well installations, container carriers & storage tanks, as well as other infra-structure industries.

Water Filtration

Coarser grains of Garnet are suitable for use in a variety of filtration applications which include Industrial Waste Water treatment and commercial Water Filtration. Garnet is possibly the most cost effective alternative for water filtration beds as it resets the filter bed more rapidly after the bed is back-flushed. Moreover, it is also effective for the elimination of heavy minerals. Furthermore it has the benefit of being chemically inert, recycle in resulting in longer production to Water treatment medium. The garnet is acknowledged for its high specific gravity, durability and consistent grading, which is very essential for water treatment and filtration.


Sand Blasting

Medium & Fine grains of Garnet are superbly suited to all fields of application in the surface preparation industry. Recommended for blast cleaning applications, Garnet is a natural Almandine known for its natural hardness, resilience and lends itself to high performance during blasting. Almandine Garnet grains are the most adaptable natural blasting and cutting mediums offered in the international market today. Its intrinsic physical and chemical uniformity ensures superior performance.

Garnet is steadily superseding other blasting media because it is environment friendly and reusable.

The brand performs superlatively for surface preparation in the following applications:

  • Oil & Petroleum industry maintenance, refineries, oil wells etc.
  • Shipbuilding, repair yards, shipyards for blasting.
  • Bridges, rail tanks, new buildings.
  • Aircraft industry and maintenance including all non-ferrous surfaces and turbine blades
  • Galvanizing plants, mechanical engineering and all areas where different surfaces are prepared for corrosion protection
  • Special mesh sizes for matting or engraving surfaces such as glass, granite, marble and others as well as building facades cleaning.
  • Stainless steel and exotic alloys blasting
  • Aluminium craft surface preparation

Water Jet Cutting

Micro grains of Garnet are perfectly suitable for the Water-jet cutting media in the Industrial purpose. Uniformity in grain size & shape give excellent performance for the users.

Garnet's hardness and sturdiness result in cutting-edge quality, optimum efficiency and low economics


Abrasive Papers

Garnet Abrasive grains are highly useful for coated abrasive which in turn are used for coating of metal, wood & other coated purpose. Abrasive Paper made out of abrasive grains are mainly used for the surface preparation application for painting and removing of the corrosion particles, which gives new life to surface preparation.
