Garnet is a mineral abrasive produced from naturally. It is produced by processing river sand and grading to exact specifications. Due to its low free silica, Garnet abrasive is widely used in sand/grit blasting and now widely popular for waterjet cutting. Garnet is cost effective, environmentally and operator friendly, alternative to silica sands and minerals slags and will provide a class SA3 White Metal finish. Garnet particles are dense, hard and sharp and free of heavy metals or toxic components. The low friability of garnet permits recycling up to 5-8 times and the relatively high density ensures fast blasting speeds.
