The Almandine Garnet grains are the most used in natural blasting and cutting system. Being the heaviest and most resilient garnet, it can stand higher cutting speeds and maintain low dust levels. Its inherent physical and chemical homogeny assures superior functioning. Today, garnet is being replaced over other blasting media due to its salient features like environment friendliness, repeatability, safety and cost effectiveness.
Benefits of garnet abrasive
Garnet is mined in its natural, angular form, making it one of the most sought-after abrasives in the business.
Environmentally and health-safe (contains no heavy metals)
Reduce air emissions greatly with garnet abrasive
Low dusting - due to its highly durable crystalline structure.
Unique grain-hardness/toughness reduces particle breakdown
Recycles 2-3 times
Lower abrasive disposal cost/lower containment cost
Applications: Waterjet cutting and Sandblasting, Water filtration, Free grinding and polishing, Resin and Coated abrasives.
