GARNET

Garnet is a mineral abrasive produced from naturally occurring almandite garnet. Garnet is a cost effective, environmentally and operator friendly, alternative to silica sands and minerals slags Garnet particles are dense, hard and sharp and free of heavy metals or toxic components. The low friability of garnet permits recycling up to 8 times and the relatively high density ensures fast blasting speeds.
