    Productivity

    High productivity

    Achieve your specified surface profile faster than alternate abrasives.

    Costs

    Low consumption

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

    High Peak Density

    High peak density

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

    Surface quality

    Low embedment

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

    Hazard mask

    Low dust

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

    Safety

    Low safety risk

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

    Wind turbine installation and maintenance

    • When high surface profiles and SP-10 cleaning standards exist for coating applications in extreme environments GMA Garnet is exceptionally well suited
    • High blasting and cleaning efficiency, leading to lower abrasive consumption, and lower clean-up and disposal costs
    • Exceptional surface cleanliness with minimal abrasive embedment, providing better corrosion resistance and substrate integrity
    • When abrasive recovery is possible GMA Garnet™ can provide a high level of abrasive reusability through recycling onsite
    • If abrasive recovery is not possible, GMA Garnet™ is an inert, natural mineral, with little to no heavy metals, reducing the risk of environmental contamination as well as worker risks and hazards.
