• Higher Productivity, Lower Costs

  Garnet blasting abrasive is harder, heavier and more durable than other abrasive blasting media. It cuts faster and significantly increases productivity while reducing abrasive consumption. Reduced abrasive consumption leads to significant savings in shipping, handling and disposal. Garnet is ideally suited to recycling when used in blast-room settings, typically providing three to five turns, making it one of the most economical mineral abrasives on the market.

  
  

  

• Low Dusting, Safe to Use

  Garnet is a 100% natural, nonferrous inert mineral with <0.1% respirable crystalline silica and no heavy metals. Our garnet poses little or no health or environmental risks, and it produces less dust than many other blasting abrasives resulting in improved visibility, less disruption to adjoining work areas and safer working conditions.

  
  

  

• Superior Surface Quality
  

  Garnet grains scour deep into cavities and pitted areas down to bare metal, thoroughly removing all rust, soluble salts and other contaminants. Our garnet abrasives are ideal for use on steel, stainless steel, aluminum and other substrates. BARTON garnet products improve coating adhesion and coating life by producing a clean substrate with a uniform surface profile virtually free of embedded particles, rogue peaks and troughs.
