Olivine Sand 220 mesh

Why Choose Olivine Sand 220 Mesh for Abrasive Blasting

Olivine sand is valued in industrial blasting for its combination of moderate hardness, angular particle shape, and inherently low free-silica content — typically below 1%. This makes it a safer alternative to traditional silica sand, helping operators meet occupational health requirements without sacrificing cleaning speed or surface profile control.

The 220 mesh grade is a fine-grain abrasive, typically used in air-blast systems where a lighter anchor profile is required, or where thin substrates, non-ferrous metals, and composite surfaces must be cleaned without excessive material removal. It is also used as a secondary or polishing media in multi-step surface preparation processes.

Performance Characteristics

• Low free-silica content: Reduces respirable silica risk during dry blasting operations.
• Angular particle shape: Provides consistent cutting action and uniform surface profile.
• Moderate hardness (Mohs 6.5–7): Effective on rust, mill scale, and light coatings without excessive substrate damage.
• Fine 220 mesh grading: Suitable for controlled profiling, satin finishes, and pre-paint preparation on sensitive surfaces.
• Good recyclability: Can be reused multiple times in contained blasting environments, depending on application pressure and substrate.

Typical Applications

Olivine Sand 220 mesh is specified across multiple industrial surface preparation tasks:

• Industrial blasting: Cleaning structural steel, tanks, and process equipment where silica exposure must be minimized.
• Marine and offshore maintenance: Surface preparation prior to coating application on ships, platforms, and marine infrastructure.
• Non-ferrous metal cleaning: Blasting aluminum, copper, brass, and thin-gauge stainless steel without embedding or warping.
• Composite and fiberglass preparation: Light profiling before bonding, laminating, or painting.
• Monument and architectural restoration: Gentle cleaning of stone, brick, and heritage surfaces.
