    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.

    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.

    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.
