Garnet powder (200 mesh) is a fine abrasive made from natural garnet minerals, typically crushed and sieved to a particle size where most grains pass through a 200-mesh screen (~75 microns). Its hardness, chemical inertness, and recyclability make it valuable across several industries.

1. Abrasive Blasting (Fine Blasting Work):

   • Ideal for precision blasting of delicate surfaces like stainless steel, aluminum, and composites.

   • Used in applications requiring a smoother finish or minimal surface damage.

2. Waterjet Cutting (Fine Nozzle Work):

   • While coarser garnet is more common, 200 mesh can be used in high-precision waterjet cutting for thin or intricate materials.

   • Produces clean, fine cuts with minimal kerf.

3. Abrasive Powders for Polishing and Lapping:

   • Used in glass, ceramics, and stone polishing for fine finishing.

   • Common in lapidary and optical lens grinding.

4. Coated Abrasives:

   • Incorporated into sandpaper and other abrasive sheets for metalworking, woodworking, and paint removal.

5. Filtration Media:

   • In some specialized water filtration systems, garnet powder is used in the final stages to remove fine particulates.

6. Surface Preparation in Aerospace and Electronics:

   • Prepares surfaces for coating, bonding, or painting with minimal material removal.
