Abrasives Method

It is true that, abrasives have been increasingly important in our daily lives. People have tried to substitute a different way of natural abrasives. But as time passes, the role has been slowly replaced by natural abrasive materials with high precision. Why? A high-quality abrasive has been proven, hard and sharp. In addition to the use of natural abrasives, it must be widespread and pure. This is where the problem is – not many minerals have such qualities that make it difficult for us to be able to find mineral abrasive.

The most important method of abrasive is grinding. He was originally sand, makes fine grained quartz. The hardness of grinding is enough for the wood processing (Mohs hardness 7), but this method is not very hard or sharp. The advantage of using this type of mineral is its affordability. Grinding is one of the low-cost methods for abrasive considered. Another method that is used is polishing. There are 3 types of minerals, which are often used for polishing and cleaning metals, pumice, feldspar, and Tripoli. Pumice is a type of stone – it has a very fine grain and is made of volcanic rock. The most dominant mineral in the pumice stone is quartz, which makes him a gentler than abrasive grinding. Feldspar is even sweeter than pumice. It is generally used in Bon Ami household cleaner brand. Tripoli can be found in jewelry and crafts, as a gold standard. It is proved that the most delicate polishing and cleaning work.
