GARNET
GARNET ABRASIVE
We provide Garnet, a class of silicate minerals that have been utilized as abrasives in a number of industrial and pre-industrial production processes. On the Mohs Scale, it has a hardness of 7, making it incredibly durable for industrial applications.
Our Garnet variants are available in a wide range of hues, including red, orange, yellow, green, purple, and even black, but the ones with a reddish tint are the most popular. Garnet is an environmentally friendly abrasive which belongs to the gem family. Among the Gem family we deal with Almandine Garnet which is the heaviest and hardest of all the Garnets. Thus, while blasting we can achieve an optimum surface profile with low dust emission. Also, our Garnet has high abrasion index with proportionate ratio of required particle size which suits best for waterjet cutting applications.
