Garnet
Garnet is the heaviest and hardest of all abrasives in this world; it could withstand in highest cutting speed and maintain low dust levels. With its crystalline shape giving a fast cutting action and longer life span.Garnet has served primarily for its many dimension applications i.e. blast media, water jet cutting, coated abrasives, surface preparation, ship, grinding media, water filtration etc., Garnet abrasive as an industrial medium of minerals and its physical characteristic performance like Hardness, shape, chemical uniqueness, size etc., guarantee its suitability for blasting industry. Its re-cycling ability & eco-friendly nature Garnet grains are the priority abrasive medium of Blasting.
Applications
Blast Abrasive grades
Benefits
High hardness. Garnet will last a long time, making it a very cost effective abrasive. Mohs Hardness is 7 to 8 depending on the type
Can recycle a number of times, depending on your grit size (generally you can obtain recycle garnet twice, perhaps more when starting with a coarse grade).
Environmentally Friendy! It is thus often used to blast stuctures residing over or next to bodies of water where contamination by the blasting media itself is a concern.
Garnet is safe and non toxic with very low free silica levels (generally less than 1%).
Excellent for coating prep use. Garnet will leave a profile that is almost free from embedment, troughs, and peaks.
Low Dusting. Garnet is a fast and clean blast media.
