Garnet Abrasive Sand

Garnet is a high performance, maintenance grade abrasive that delivers efficient and costeffective blast cleaning for surfaces. It is used in dry blast cleaning, wet blast cleaning, and waterjet cutting. Known for its hardness and durability, it is a chemically inert, natural mineral. Where conditions allow recycling the material can be used as a cheaper alternative to aluminium oxide, chilled iron or steel grit.
