1. Fast and Efficient Cutting

Thanks to its high hardness (7–8 on the Mohs scale), garnet quickly removes rust, paint, and contaminants, reducing work time.

2. Low Dust Production

Compared to abrasives like slag or sand, garnet generates much less dust, improving visibility and working conditions.

3. Reusable (4 to 6 times)

Unlike many disposable abrasives, garnet can be recycled multiple times, reducing long-term costs.

4. Free of Crystalline Silica

Garnet contains very little to no free silica, making it safer for workers compared to sand.

5. Uniform Surface Finish

It produces a consistent blasting profile, ideal for good adhesion of paints and coatings.

6. Versatile

Usable for multiple applications: steel, aluminum, industrial structures, surface preparation, and even waterjet cutting.

Garnet is sourced from natural deposits formed from mineral-rich rocks. It is extracted from two main sources:

Alluvial deposits: natural sand recovered from ancient riverbeds or coastal areas.

Hard rock: garnet extracted from rock, then crushed to obtain a more angular and higher-performing abrasive.

Yes, garnet is an eco-friendly abrasive. It is natural, non-toxic, and free of respirable crystalline silica. It generates little dust because it is washed multiple times and precisely sieved, ensuring a clean and uniform product. It is also reusable, which reduces waste and environmental impact.

Our garnet is primarily offered in 80 mesh, carefully sieved to ensure a uniform particle size. It is ideal for both industrial sandblasting and waterjet applications, offering stable and consistent performance in both uses.
