Garnet Sand
Garnet is devided from hard rock and is absolutely inert and non-toxic. It is extremely and does not contaminate the Surface of stainless steel or non-ferrous materials.The angular shape gives a fast cutting action and had a long life span.
Garnet is a cost effective, environmentally and operator friendly. Alternative to silica sands and minerals slag and will provide a class Sa3 white metal finish. Garnet particles a dense, hard and sharp and free of heavy metals or toxic components. The low friability of garnet permits recycling up to 5 times and the relitively high density ensures fast blasting speeds.
