Marine & Ship Building

We work extensively with the world’s leading dry dock maintenance, and new build shipyards to meet the highest standards required for enduring coating integrity, ensuring asset protection and longevity.

Get a cleaner surface faster, with minimized OSH risks

Our high-performance abrasives provide the cleanest and most consistent surface for maximum corrosion protection, reducing ongoing maintenance costs of vessels in the harshest environmental conditions, while maintaining a very low dust, safe working environment.

High productivity

Achieve your specified surface profile faster than alternate abrasives.

Low consumption

Complete the job with far less abrasive, reducing costs in abrasive purchase, transport, and disposal.

High peak density

Generate higher peak density over alternate abrasives for unmatched coating adhesion and integrity.

Low embedment

60% of the average slag-blasted surface is embedded with residual abrasive. Garnet results in minimal embedment.

Low dust

GMA Garnet™ offers the closest thing to dustless blasting, drastically improving operator visibility and reducing site contamination.

Low safety risk

Garnet is an inert mineral with little to no heavy metals creating worker risks or environmental hazards.

CASE STUDY

70% abrasive consumption saved with GMA ToughBlast™

A shipyard in New York harbor recently switched from using slag abrasives to GMA ToughBlast™ garnet. Results showed an impressive increase in efficiency from each blaster, and a drastic reduction in the consumption rate and downtime required to refill the blasting pots.

New build shipyards

Very low dust emissions, improving visibility and productivity particularly in confined spaces
High blasting and cleaning efficiency, leading to lower abrasive consumption, and lower clean-up and disposal costs
GMA Garnet™ is an inert, sustainable natural mineral, with little to no recordable heavy metals and worker hazard risks
Waste management and garnet recycling programs
World class 12 point QA/QC process with samples taken every two hours to ensure GMA’s processed garnet are of the highest standards.
