Olivine Sand 36 mesh

Low-Silica Abrasive for Safer Blasting Operations

Traditional silica sand creates respirable crystalline silica dust, a known health hazard in confined and open blasting environments. Olivine Sand 36 mesh offers a practical alternative. Its mineral composition—magnesium iron silicate—contains less than 1% free silica, significantly reducing airborne risks while maintaining aggressive cutting action.

The 36 mesh grade sits in the medium-coarse range, making it suitable for general surface preparation, mill scale removal, and creating an anchor profile for industrial coatings. It bridges the gap between fine finishing media and heavy-duty coarse grit, giving operators a versatile single-media solution for many jobs.

Performance Characteristics of Olivine Sand 36 Mesh

Olivine grains fracture on impact, exposing fresh, sharp edges that cut efficiently. This angularity, combined with a moderate bulk density, produces a uniform surface profile without excessive embedment. The media is compatible with both suction-fed and pressure-fed air blast systems, as well as some wheel blast machines when properly sized.

Key operational benefits include low dust generation, good recyclability in controlled conditions, and a consistent particle size distribution that helps maintain a steady blast pattern. Contractors switching from silica sand or coal slag often report faster cleaning rates and reduced media consumption per square meter.

Packaging and Supply Flexibility

SPA2Z understands that job sites and procurement workflows vary. Olivine Sand 36 mesh is available in multiple pack configurations to match your project scale and handling equipment:

• 25 kg bag – convenient for small jobs, touch-up work, and manual handling.
• 50 kg bag – standard industrial pack for medium-volume blasting.
• 1 ton jumbo bag – efficient for bulk users with forklift access.
• Bulk tote / drum pack – custom options for high-consumption sites and export orders.

Every pack option is designed to protect the media from moisture and contamination during transit and storage. We can advise on the most cost-effective packaging for your location and order volume.
