Emery (Emerundum^®)

Emery is produced from a naturally occurring emery ore that is rich in aluminum oxide. Mineralogically, emery is an intimate mix of corundum and magnetite. Corundumis a natural form of aluminum oxide. Because there is such a high percentage of aluminum oxide in emery, this emery is extremely hard, tough and fracture resistant. The emery we sell is crushed only from specially selected abrasive emery ore that contains not less than 58% aluminum oxide. Emery is a dense, non-porous fine-grained aggregate which is mainly used in buffing compounds, particularly for chrome plate, as a loose abrasive in ball grinders and as a tough additive for anti-skid flooring applications.

Garnet

This garnet is an almandite variety of garnet. Almandite garnet is a natural, chemically inert, iron alumino-silicate mineral. The combination of it’s specific set of physical properties make it an excellent natural abrasive. Garnet is a fast cutting, low consumption, low dusting, recyclable mineral abrasive. Garnet, in many cases, can be recycled 3-5 times which helps cut many project costs down such as abrasive collection, clean-up and disposal. Since garnet has low dust characteristics and is a relatively hard abrasive (7.5 Mohs), rate of removal on tough surfaces is increased and cleaning efficiency greatly improves when garnet is used. Garnet is also used as an excellent cutting medium in waterjet cutting applications.
