Productivity is a key factor in the profitability of abrasive blasting projects. The right abrasive choice can significantly boost productivity and reduce costs.
Increasing Productivity and Profitability
In abrasive blasting, the choice of abrasive can significantly impact productivity and project timelines. High-quality abrasives like garnet offer better blast performance, leading to faster project completion. This efficiency can reduce labor costs and increase overall project profitability.
By selecting an abrasive that performs consistently well, you can shorten project timelines and enhance your ability to meet or exceed client expectations. This can lead to more opportunities and a stronger reputation in the industry.
Hidden Costs of Lower-Priced Abrasives
While cheaper abrasives might seem economical initially, they often result in higher overall costs due to several hidden factors:
- Lower Productivity: Less effective abrasives can require more time to achieve the desired surface finish, slowing down project progress.
- Increased Consumption: Inferior abrasives break down more quickly, necessitating frequent replenishment and increasing material costs.
- Higher Labor Costs: Slower blasting speeds extend project durations, leading to increased labor costs.
Clean-up Cost
Effective abrasives can significantly reduce clean-up costs by minimizing the amount of residual material left after blasting. A high-quality abrasive will break down less during use, resulting in less dust and debris to be cleaned up. This not only reduces labor and equipment costs associated with clean-up but also minimizes disposal expenses. Using an abrasive like garnet, which generates minimal dust and residue, can lead to substantial savings in post-blasting clean-up efforts. Additionally, the reduced environmental impact and improved safety conditions contribute to the overall efficiency and cost-effectiveness of the project.

Meeting Project Deadlines
Adhering to project deadlines is critical in the abrasive blasting industry, so the choice of abrasive is crucial in ensuring projects stay on schedule.
GMA’s high-performance abrasives help maintain job site productivity. The superior cutting power and uniform grain size result in a more efficient blasting process, allowing for quicker removal of coatings and contaminants. This efficiency helps ensure that projects are completed on time or even ahead of schedule, ensuring customer satisfaction.
Additionally, the security of supply is vital for meeting project deadlines. Reliable suppliers ensure a consistent supply of abrasives by maintaining extensive mining operations and managing resources effectively. This approach supports uninterrupted project progress, giving GMA customers confidence in meeting tight deadlines.
