Applications of Garnet Sand 80 Mesh
Precision Sandblasting
Due to its angular grains and high hardness, it is ideal for cleaning delicate metal surfaces such as:
- Automotive components
- Medical equipment
- Thin metal structures
Waterjet Cutting
The most popular size for waterjet cutting, widely used in industries such as:
- Decorative glass
- Fine metal sheets
- Ceramics and tiles
Industrial Water Filtration
Used in multi-layer sand filtration systems as an effective media for removing fine particles and improving filtration accuracy.
📊 80 Mesh vs 30–60 / 20–40 / 12–20 (Quick Comparison)
Garnet 80 grade falls under the category of fine and precise abrasive media, while coarser grades like 30–60 mesh, 20–40 mesh, and 12–20 mesh contain larger particles. These coarser grades are typically used for heavier-duty applications and rougher surfaces. The following table highlights the key differences:
| Feature / Grade | Mesh 12-20 | Mesh 20-40 | Mesh 30-60 | Mesh 80 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Particle size (μm) | 850–1180 | 420–850 | 250–600 | ≈177 |
| Abrasive Power | Very High | High | Med–High | Medium |
| Precision Level | Low | Medium | Good | High |
| Dust Generation | High | Med–High | Medium | Low |
| Blasting Speed | Very Fast | Fast | Moderate | Relatively Lower |
| Main Application | Heavy rust/thick steel | Concrete & thick steel | General purpose | Waterjet & fine blasting |
| Recyclability* | up to 2x | up to 3x | up to 4x | up to 5x |
* Depends on the recovery/cyclone system and the level of surface contamination.🛠️ Packaging, Shipping & MOQ
