Abrasive blasting is primarily used to clean surfaces from contaminants, remove existing coatings and/or to create a profile on a substrate for coating application. It is used in a variety of industries including Steel Fabrication, Oil and Gas, Infrastructure, Pipelines and Marine sectors.
Garnet is becoming the industry choice as the preferred abrasive blasting media, as it is a safe and highly versatile product, allowing it to be used across a wide range of applications. Australian Garnet is a high quality alluvial garnet from a single source.
Australian Garnet premium abrasives have high hardness, high specific gravity, and low friability, which result in a range of benefits that includes but isn’t limited to:
Lower costs through higher productivity the mineral properties of garnet allow it to get the job done faster, thus saving on high cost items such as labour and equipment.
Low Consumption Rates – less garnet is required to clean the same surface area as other abrasives, thus not only saving on the cost of abrasives, but also the clean up and disposal costs.
- Increased Safety – a naturally occurring inert mineral that’s safe to handle and transport, which poses little to no risk to human health and the
environment, classified as a non hazardous material with no harmful by products. - Superior Surface Finish – Australian Garnet provides a superior clean surface with minimal to no embedment and a uniform surface profile that is
optimum for coating adhesion and performance. - Recyclability – a high quality source of garnet can be recycled numerous times, reducing cost and waste.
Our state-of-the-art operations ensure our premium abrasives deliver high performance through optimum particle sizing and stringent quality control.
