In the world of delicate surface cleaning, the industry faces a recurrent issue—the use of Glass Beads. While effective, Glass Beads incur high costs, lower productivity, and greater material consumption, rendering them impractical for many projects, especially those involving soft metals, glass, plastics, and restoration efforts. Furthermore, the environmental impact of disposal is a pressing concern.
In a significant breakthrough, Garnet Arabia Company, a joint venture company of GMA and an approved local manufacturer by Saudi Aramco, obtained Saudi Aramco's approval for Arabian Garnet™ 220 Mesh. This milestone firmly establishes Arabian Garnet™ 220 Mesh as an ideal alternative to Glass Beads for surface preparation applications. It reinforces our commitment to delivering innovative, precise solutions that gain trust and approval from industry leaders like Saudi Aramco.
