Garnet is a completely natural abrasive that does not contain toxic substances and metals, free silica, chloride and carbonate. In short, it has the following advantages over other abrasives:
• Economic efficiency
The use of garnet in various applications results in a significant reduction in blasting costs. This problem can be calculated and offered for different projects depending on the type of consumption.
• Low consumption
The unique shape of garnet grains allows the grains to hit the surface more effectively, which reduces abrasive consumption. (the other half of the abrasives)
• High efficiency
The blasting speed using garnet is high (two to three times higher than other abrasives) and makes the operation more efficient. The shape, density and hardness of the grains allow the garnet grains to hit the surface with high speed and high inertia and flake off at high speed.
• High quality surface blasting
Garnet grains penetrate the voids on the surface, reaching the metal body and removing all existing contaminants. The blasted surface is free of sharp, peak-like particles and can easily reach the SA3 standard level for metals. In addition, a surface roughness of between 50 and 90 microns is achieved depending on the type of granulation used.
• Low dust generation during the blasting process
Garnet sandblasting has the lowest dust generation. In addition to the cleanliness of the grains, their high resistance to breakage and fine particle production, their hardness and high particle density allow blasting with minimal contamination. This feature does not reduce the visibility of the operators, ensures the safety of the workers and ensures continuity of blasting operations during working hours.
• Recyclable feature
Garnet is suitable for reuse. Depending on the type of use, this abrasive can be recycled between 4 and 8 times (and in some cases up to 10 times) without reducing its peeling properties.
• Protects health and safety
Garnet is non-toxic and does not contain heavy metals and radioactive pollutants that can be filtered. However, Silica causes Silicosis.
