Coarse Granule
Coarse granule product suited for swimming pools, aquaculture, and flooring applications.
Page Title
Coarse Granule Zeolite Products — KMI 8X14 / 4X8 US MESH
Page Summary
Coarse granule zeolite is well suited to applications where particle retention and on-site handling are critical. It can be considered for snow and ice control / anti-slip use, swimming pool filtration, large packed beds, and air scrubbers.

Advantages of Coarse Granule Products
- Large particles make on-site handling easy
- Helps maintain structure after spreading
- Relatively easy large-area application and recovery
- Maintains particle structure through repeated freeze-thaw cycles (important for snow & ice control)
Benefits as a Snow & Ice Control Material
- Does not corrode concrete or metal (chloride replacement / combined use)
- Supports surface stabilization through moisture adsorption
- Low burden on the environment (soil and groundwater)
- No damage to vegetation
Points to Consider
- May not be suitable for precision filtration or fine mixing processes.
- Depending on the application, spreading thickness, replenishment cycle, and whether to blend particle sizes should be reviewed.
- For swimming pool filtration, compatibility with the existing sand filtration system must be verified.
Packaging Units
- Sample: 2.2kg
- Bulk: 22kg, 50lbs bags
Notice
Coarse granule products can be suitable for snow & ice control, filtration, civil engineering, and on-site spreading applications, but the required particle size range can vary significantly depending on actual site conditions.
