Garnet Sand Supplied from Türkiye for Blasting and Waterjet

Quotes that start from the job, not the tonne

Vista Endüstriyel has worked in surface treatment since 2003 and is known in Türkiye for its blasting equipment. That background shapes how we sell garnet sand. When a buyer asks for a grade, we look at the job behind it: the blasting system or waterjet cutter, the surface condition and the finish required. The result is a quote that fits the work, not just a price per tonne. We sell to blasting contractors, shipyards, waterjet job shops and water treatment projects, in full loads or smaller quantities. More on the company is on our about us page.

Why garnet sand?

Garnet is a natural, chemically inert silicate mineral. Crushed and screened, it becomes a hard, angular abrasive with a set of properties that buyers value:

• Hard, tough grains that cut cleanly and break down slowly, so less abrasive is used per square metre.
• Low dust generation, which gives operators better visibility and makes cleanup faster.
• Low crystalline free silica content, which is why garnet is regarded as a safer choice than silica sand. Proper PPE and dust control are still required on every blasting job.
• A uniform surface profile that helps paints and coatings bond.
• Reusability in blast rooms with recovery systems, where garnet can be cleaned and recycled several times depending on the application.

One mineral, three kinds of work

Abrasive blasting

Garnet is used for dry and wet blasting with pressure pots and suction systems. Typical work includes ship and yacht hulls, structural steel, pipelines, storage tanks and refinery equipment. Because it leaves no metallic iron on the surface, garnet is also chosen for stainless steel, aluminium and other non-ferrous metals. Fine grades suit glass and mirror frosting, stone finishing, restoration of building facades and denim treatment.

Waterjet cutting

In abrasive waterjet cutting, garnet is the most widely used abrasive. It cuts steel, stone, glass, ceramics and composites without a heat-affected zone. Waterjet garnet must be dry, free flowing and free of dust and oversize grains to keep the feed line and nozzle clear. 80 mesh is the most common grade for this work.

Water filtration

Dense and inert, garnet is used in multimedia filters beneath lighter layers such as sand and anthracite. After backwashing it settles back to the bottom of the bed, helping to hold fine particles. Coarser grades can serve as a support layer.

Coarse to fine: Mesh 12/20 to Mesh 240

We keep the following mesh grades. The higher the mesh number, the finer the grain.

• Mesh 12/20 and 20/40: coarse grades for heavy rust, mill scale and thick coatings.
• Mesh 30/60: general purpose blasting and maintenance work.
• Mesh 80: the standard waterjet grade, also used for fine blasting.
• Mesh 120, 180, 200 and 240: fine grades for glass, delicate surfaces and smooth finishes.

By road or sea container from our stock

Garnet sand is packed in 25 kg bags, and bags are palletised in 1 ton loads for forklift handling. Orders ship from our stock in Türkiye by road or by sea container, depending on volume and destination. Delivery terms, shipping documents and lead time are agreed with each buyer and set out in the quote. Details are on our global shipping page.

What sets the price

We do not publish a fixed price list, because the price of garnet sand depends on the grade, order quantity, packaging, delivery point and agreed delivery terms. A firm quote based on your actual requirement is the most reliable way to compare offers. Our quotes list product, packaging and freight as separate lines, so you can see exactly what you are paying for. Buyers with regular consumption can also ask for pricing based on a planned supply schedule.

Four details for a quote
