Garnet

Garnet is a natural mineral known for its hardness, durability and abrasive characteristics. It is a cost-effective and safe alternative to silica sand, mineral slag, steel grit and steel shot, because its grain size, density, hardness, and durability creates excellent abrasive efficiency, which equates to low abrasive consumption at high production rates. Garnet can be recycled several times, depending on the application, due to its superior hardness and low friability. Garnet is available in a higher-quality and more pink GHP-grade, known as river garnet, and a lower-cost GH-grade, known as rock garnet.
