GMA provides a range of blasting abrasives ideally suited to the marine and ship building industries. We work extensively with the world’s leading dry dock maintenance, and new build shipyards to meet the highest standards required for enduring coating integrity, ensuring asset protection and longevity.
 
GMA’s high-performance abrasives provide the cleanest and most consistent surface for maximum corrosion protection, reducing ongoing maintenance costs of vessels in the harshest environmental conditions, while maintaining a very low dust, safe working environment. 
 

New build shipyards

  • Very low dust emissions, improving visibility and productivity particularly in confined spaces
  • High blasting and cleaning efficiency, leading to lower abrasive consumption, and lower clean-up and disposal costs
  • GMA Garnet™ is an inert, sustainable natural mineral, with little to no recordable heavy metals and worker hazard risks
  • Waste management and garnet recycling programs (contact GMA for more information/link to recycling page if available in region)
  • World class 12 point QA/QC process with samples taken every two hours to ensure GMA’s processed garnet are of the highest standards.
