Description

Olivine Sandblasting Antisilicosis

A natural and efficient abrasive, ideal for sandblasting operations. This product, composed of olivine, is valued for its high cleaning and abrasion capacity, thanks to its hardness of 6.5-7 on the Mohs scale and its angular shape.

Key Benefits

The biggest advantage of our Olivine Sand Healthy Blast is that it does not contain free silica, eliminating the risk of silicosis, a serious lung disease caused by silica powder. Due to this concern, many countries, such as Turkey, England, the Netherlands, Sweden and Norway, have banned the use of quartz sand or free silica in blasting operations. In addition, more and more customers are demanding the use of silica-free alternatives to protect the health of operators.

Our Olivine Sand Blast has the following chemical composition:

Formula Percentage
MgO 37,2 %
CaO 1,8 %
SiO₂ 40,7 %
Al₂O₃ 2,4 %
Fe₂O₃ 8,3 %
Na₂O 0,1 %
K₂O <0.1 %
L.O.I. 9,2 %

Mineralogical Analysis of Olivine

The mineralogical analysis of our dunite reveals the following composition:

Mineral Chemical Formula Percentage
Forsterite 2•MgO•SiO₂ 47 %
Clinoenstatite MgO•SiO₂ 27 %
Bronzite [MgO,FeO]•SiO₂ 19,5 %
Quartz SiO₂ 1,5 %
Amorphous - 5 %

Available sizes

We offer three standard sizes to suit different types of blasting applications:

  • 0.2 – 0.6 mm
  • 0.6 – 2 mm
  • 2 – 3 mm

Presentation Forms

How much stone do I need?

How much stone do I need for the ground?

For shot and gravel song:
• ± 80kg per m², based on a 5cm layer.*For granulometries> 32mm a thicker layer is necessary.• Saca consumption: 1000kg = 0.625m³.
• Covering capacity: ± 12.5m² with a layer of 5 cm.

For pine cortex:
• ± 70L per m², based on a 5cm layer.
• Saca consumption: 1000L = ± 1m³ = ± 600kg
• Covering capacity: ± 14m² with a layer of 5 cm.

For volcanic, slate and chamota:
• ± 50kg per m², based on a 5cm layer.
• Saca consumption: 1000kg = ± 1m³
• Covering capacity: ± 20m² with a layer of 5 cm

How much stone do I need to fill a gabion?

Density of ± 1,650kg by 1m³.

The calculation is very simple to understand with an example, if you have a 100x50x30 cm gav. You have to make the following accounts:
1x0.5x0,3 = 0.15m³
0.15x1,650 = 247.50kg. stone.
*It is always good to calculate an extra 5%, since the gavions when filling them are a little and always enters some more stone than in the theoretical calculations.

Clarifications

ATTENTION!

Granulometries are sizes of sizes

Real sizes can vary slightly, since when talking, for example, 60-80mm stone, it means that the stones pass through a square mesh of 80x80mm. and do not go through a 60x60mm.
This 80x80 mesh can pass a 100mm stone. long and 65mm. wide so there may be a percentage of stones greater than 80 and less than 60mm.

Broken stones

On the other hand, in the stones of more than 60mm. There is a percentage of up to 10% stones that can be broken during classification, washing, loading and downloading, today we have no machinery that avoids those breaks.

In the photos you can see, only real products are seen, broken pieces have been removed.

Dust and sand in products

This product is not washed, so it contains dust, sand and even traces of other products due to processing and transport. This is not a problem when using it; The stone will be washed alone over time or can throw water before using it.
