Sandblasting Garnet Abrasives Supplier
Sandblasting Garnet Abrasives Supplier
How is GMA Garnet™ different to other abrasives?
GMA Garnet™
- Solid almandine garnet particles from prolonged natural attrition
- Very resistant to further breakdown
- Inert, natural mineral with minimal to no worker or environmental risks
Indian Garnet
- Inherently weaker due to relatively short sedimentary life
- Characterized by more fracture planes
- May be prone to higher breakdown in use producing higher dust levels
Chinese Garnet
- Inconsistent or variable quality from batch to batch
- Poor abrasive characteristics due to a clustered crystal structure, or composites with other minerals
- Highly friable and breaks easily, increasing dust levels
Copper/Coal Slag
- Fractured structure
- Highly friable, producing high dust levels
- Has sharp, horn-like structures that can embed into the surfacec
- Contains heavy metals & other harmful substances
- High consumption due to abrasive grain breakdown
What makes GMA Garnet™ unique?
Our garnet’s prolonged exposure to nature’s forces has resulted in the toughest, most resilient sub-angular garnet grains.
