OUR GARNET

Why engineered blends perform better

GMA’s sharp, angular hard rock garnet cuts through the toughest, thickest coatings up to 30 mil and creates a consistent surface profile up to 4.0 mil. With the addition of fine, subangular alluvial garnet, GMA Garnet 25/40 removes all traces of surface embedment and contaminants. This dual-action performance ensures speed and efficiency on the toughest coating removal jobs and improves blasting production rates.
