CNTM Garnet are composed of natural Almandine rock garnet grains and has been famous for its natural hardness, more angular, sharper edges, durability and abrasive characteristics, that meet all Occupational Health and Safety requirements, as well as being environmentally inert. Benefiting from its natural almandine rock garnet mine resource in North China, CN Garnet abrasives provide a perfect symbiosis of grain size, density and hardness/durability ensuring optimum abrasive efficiency in terms of lowest abrasive consumption and highest production rates at safe environmental and health conditions. It is a cost effective alternative to silica sand, mineral slags, steel grits and shot due to low consumption (kg/m2) and high productivity (m2/hr) and the superior toughness and low friability enables it to be recycled 6 -10 times depending on the application. Mined by the leading producer of industrial garnet£¬Rizhao Garnet Ltd in North China, CN Garnet abrasives are processed to the highest quality standards in respect of mineral purity and meet the stringent requirements of ISO 11126-10:2000E for chloride and free silica content. It is free of metallic iron making it suitable for all areas of surface preparation including stainless steel, anti-magnetic steel and all specialty alloys. Special fine grades of CN Garnet abrasives are also available for aluminium, turbine blades, fibreglass and other specialist surface preparation applications. CN Garnet abrasives are used for abrasive blast cleaning in various industries. It is approved by major oil companies, shipyards as well as large and small clients around the world including major paint manufacturers. Surface Preparation Applications CN Garnet are well suited to most fields of surface preparation industry, with or without subsequent coatings in particular: ¡ïoffreshore rig ¡ïBuilding and structural steel ¡ïSteel structure bridge ¡ïConstruction and maintenance of chemical plants, nuclear and fossil power stations, gas and sewerage plants, desalination and industrial plants. ¡ïConstruction and maintenance of containers and tanks, tank trucks and rail tanks, wagons and coaches ¡ïNon-ferrous surfaces and turbine blades (special mesh). ¡ïOil and petrochemical maintenance in refineries and storage tanks including on-shore and off-shore installations ¡ïShipyards, new building, conversion and repair including antimagnetic and other special steels as well as aluminium super structures and aluminium and fibreglass hulls. ¡ïStainless Steel. ¡ïStone building facades and monuments Advantages over Other Abrasives Cost-effective Blast Cleaning; Low Dusting; High Productivity; Low Consumption; Superior Surface Quality; Improved Health and Safety and Environment; Recyclability; Surface Cleanliness.
