Rubber filler
Garnet as a filler in rubber can increase the weight and viscosity of rubber, as well as its physical strength and vibration dampening properties.
How garnet impacts rubber
A micro-powder derived from Garnet minerals is added as an inorganic filler to rubber. Its unique chemical profile, characterized by wear resistance and chemical inertness, means that garnet powder as a rubber additive brings much needed elasticity and resilience to rubber products.
Garnet-reinforced rubber also has more performant tensile strength and is more resistant to tearing when compared to rubber reinforced with other additives, such as calcium carbonate.
What makes GMA Garnet unique?
Extreme toughness
GMA Garnet™ is made from the hardest, toughest, and most dense variety of garnet, able to maintain its integrity & resist fracturing under force.
Chemically inert
As an inert mineral, our garnet has little to no recordable heavy metals, minimizing worker hazards and environmental contamination risks.
Clean and pure
GMA’s meticulous processing methods produce the highest quality garnet products — the cleanest, purest, and most reliable available.
