Olivine

Olivine is one of the most common minerals in the earth, and is a major rock forming mineral. Despite this, good specimens and large crystals are uncommon and sought after. Only few localities yield large examples of this mineral, although small and microscopic grains are found worldwide. Olivine is also found in meteorites, and large grains have been reported in many of them.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Olivine Sand and where is it used?

Olivine Sand is a natural mineral abrasive used for blasting, surface cleaning, foundry work, metal processing, and heavy industrial applications requiring durable, eco-friendly media.

Why choose Olivine Sand for sandblasting?

It offers fast cutting speed, low dust emission, zero free silica, and strong particle strength, making blasting safer, quicker, and more cost-effective.

Is Olivine Sand safer than traditional abrasives?

Yes. Olivine Sand contains no free silica, helping reduce airborne hazards and supporting healthier working conditions during blasting operations.

Does Olivine Sand create dust while blasting?

Olivine Sand produces minimal dust compared to conventional abrasives, improving visibility and operator comfort while maintaining efficient surface preparation.

Can Olivine Sand be used in foundry and casting?

Yes. Its thermal stability and uniform grains support cleaner molds and fewer casting defects, making it suitable for foundry and metal casting processes.

Which industries use Olivine Sand?

Commonly applied in shipyards, oil & gas facilities, foundries, fabrication plants, construction projects, manufacturing units, and industrial surface preparation operations.

Do you supply Olivine Sand in bulk?

Yes. Bulk supply is available in jumbo bags or customized packing for both domestic and export orders, tailored to industrial volume requirements.

Can I get a sample before ordering?

Yes. Samples can be provided for testing so you can evaluate performance before confirming bulk or long-term supply.
