Garnet - is a non - metallic naturally obtainable mineral abrasive. The grains have a unique curved cubical form as a result of hundreds of years under wave action. During mining and processing there is no grinding or breaking of particles. Hence, Garnet is a genuine virgin almandine garnet belonging to the gem family. Almandine garnet is the heaviest and hardest of garnets, and can withstand more cutting speed and maintain low dust levels. With its crystalline shape giving a fast cutting action and longer life span, Garnet is highly efficient and effective as an abrasive.

Other Applications

Garnet finds wide-ranging applications in several industries. Typically, it is preferred.

Abrasive Blasting

For blast cleaning for preparation before painting (Sand Blasting), Petrochemical tankworks, offshore platforms, pipelines, Heavy Equipment Repair, Industrial Parts cleaning, In high-pressure water jet cutting of marble, granite, artificial stones, concrete, aluminum, titanium, high strength steel and steel bridge decking, automotive glass, textiles, corrugated boxboard, plastics laminates, aerospace composites, etc.

In high-quality coated and bonded abrasives such as abrasive papers, cloths, wheels, etc. Micronised form of Garnet is used for polishing of glass faceplates of televisions, computer monitors and optical glasses Polishing & Precision Finishing of high pressure Valves. For artistic engraving or matting of surfaces such as glass, marble, granite, etc.

As bedding in water filtration and water softening as Garnet in Heavy Metal removal the best. In anti-skid paints and surfaces, as Garnet lasts longer and provides excellent bonding

For stone washing of denim fabrics, providing only fading of dye but not damaging the cloth or stitching

Used in Industrial Flooring as Garnet withstands more wear & tear and provides better grip.
