Natural Seppe Garnet for Sandblasting and Waterjet Cutting System

Garnet, derived from mined Almandite and Andradite mineral deposits, is a semi-precious stone. Once extracted, it is processed and then screened to the desired grade.The combination of the high density and physical properties make Garnet nature's most highly efficient, effective and safe abrasive for both wet and dry blasting applications.

ADVANTAGES OF GARNET FOR BLAST CLEANING
Wide range of grades and composition available for different jobs and profiles
Superior surface profile - garnet grains create a uniform profile virtually free of embedment, providing an excellent surface for coating adhesion
Cost-effective - highly effective, low consumption
Non-toxic - inert and natural, crystalline silica levels are less than 1%
Recyclable up to 5 times
Low dust levels - improved operator visibility
Easy cleanup
Non-reactant - will not interfere with your coatings
Non-porous - will not draw moisture
