    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.

    • World class 12 point QA/QC process with samples taken every two hours to ensure GMA’s processed garnet is of the highest standards.
    • 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
    • Exceptional surface cleanliness with minimal abrasive embedment for better corrosion resistance and substrate integrity
    • Inert, sustainable natural mineral with little-to-no recordable heavy metals and worker hazard risks.
    • Waste management and garnet recycling: GMA Garnet™ can provide a high level of reusability through recycling onsite
