Garnet

Sandblasting material

Garnet is a natural mineral abrasive known for its moderate hardness, high density, and low dust generation, making it an eco-friendly alternative to synthetic abrasives. With its sharp, angular grains, garnet delivers efficient cutting and surface preparation while maintaining recyclability and minimal environmental impact. It is widely used in waterjet cutting, abrasive blasting, and surface finishing across multiple industries.

Features

Natural, non-toxic, and environmentally friendly
Moderate hardness for effective cutting without excessive substrate damage
Low dust generation for safer working environments
Recyclable in multiple abrasive blasting cycles
Consistent grain size for uniform surface finishes

Applications

Waterjet cutting of metals, stone, and composites
Abrasive blasting for rust, scale, and paint removal
Surface preparation for coatings and linings
Non-skid flooring aggregates
Filtration media in water treatment systems
