Staurolite
Staurolite is a naturally occurring Alumino-Silicate mineral known for its hardness, angular shape, and high specific gravity. It is typically found in metamorphic rocks and is widely used in industrial applications due to its excellent abrasive qualities and resistance to chemical breakdown.
Applications
Abrasive Blasting
Staurolite is a preferred abrasive for open and enclosed blasting systems due to its hardness, angularity, and low free silica content. It effectively removes rust, paint, and mill scale from steel surfaces while maintaining surface integrity.
Advantages
High Hardness - (7 – 7.5 Mohs) for aggressive cleaning
Low Dust Generation - Ensuring safer and cleaner work environments
Environmentally Friendly – Non-toxic and naturally occurring
Angular Grain Shape - Enhanced surface profile
Chemically Inert – Does not react with most metals or chemicals
Recyclable – Suitable for multiple blasting cycles
