GMA Garnet
Description
GMA Garnet™ abrasive is composed of natural Almandine garnet grains that are known for their natural hardness, durability, and abrasive characteristics. It is a cost-effective alternative to other abrasives including mineral slags and steel grits and shot as its hardness & durability creates the optimum abrasive efficiency – lowest abrasive consumption (kg/m2) at the highest production rates (m2/hr).
Specifications
