Hardness: Garnet ranks around 6.5 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale, making it a highly effective cutting and blasting material.
Chemically Inert: It does not react with most chemicals, making it safe for use in a wide range of applications.
Recyclable: Garnet can often be reused multiple times depending on the application and the level of contamination.
Blasting Garnet Abrasive are scientifically formulated to work together on delicate restoration projects. Cleaning valuable historic assets, masonry, concrete, grout, stone, marble, tile and much more, Garnet is a cost-effective, high-performance, environmentally friendly abrasive. The perfect symbiosis of grain size, density and hardness/durability creates the optimum abrasive efficiency and lowest abrasive consumption. It can be recycled 5 times without losing it’s superior ability. Low dusting improves health and safety for the operator and the environment.
Common Applications:
Waterjet Cutting: Garnet is the most popular abrasive used in waterjet cutting machines due to its sharp edges, hardness, and clean performance.
Sandblasting (Abrasive Blasting): Used to clean surfaces like steel, concrete, and other materials. Garnet is favored because it produces minimal dust and is environmentally friendly.
Abrasive Papers: Used in sandpapers for wood, metal, and other material finishing.
Filtration Media: Garnet is also used in water filtration systems due to its density and durability.
