industrial manufacturing blasting abrasives

Industrial Fabrication & Maintenance

GMA offers a range of high-performance garnet blast abrasives

In-house steel fabrication and manufacturing requires unique abrasive properties to help clean, prepare and preserve the steel surface.
GMA offers a range of high-performance garnet blast abrasives that provide the cleanest and most consistent surface for maximum coating adhesion and corrosion protection, while maintaining a very low dust emissions and a safe working environment

Fabrication

GMA Garnet™ is ideally suited to structural steel fabrication yards where new construction and maintenance projects require hard mill scale removal. GMA NewSteel™ is the fastest cleaning mineral abrasive on the market for removing mill scale.

Surface Cleanliness - Exceptional surface cleanliness with minimal abrasive embedment, for better corrosion resistance and substrate integrity
Efficiency and consumption - High blasting and cleaning efficiency, leading to low abrasive consumption, minimizing usage and maximizing recycling.
Very low dust emissions, reducing risk to surrounding sensitive equipment
Waste management and garnet recycling: With the right equipment GMA Garnet™ can provide a high level of reusability through recycling onsite
GMA Garnet™ is an inert, sustainable natural mineral, with little to no recordable heavy metals and worker hazard risks

Powder Coating

GMA’s finer grade garnet abrasives such as GMA NewSteel™ and GMA PrecisionBlast™ are uniquely positioned for the powder coating industry, able to produce the ideal exceptionally clean surface, with uniform profile and peak density, allowing for maximum coating adhesion and integrity.

Exceptional surface cleanliness with minimal abrasive embedment allows for better corrosion resistance and substrate integrity
Creates the required surface profile with consistent peak density for stronger coating adhesion
High blasting and cleaning efficiency, leading to low abrasive consumption
Very low dust emissions, reducing risk to workers and contamination to surrounding areas

Precast concrete

Perfect concrete finishing starts with GMA Garnet™. The unique blasting technique used on concrete to produce the desired texture and to expose the aggregate beneath for an architectural decorative finish is achieved via a cost effective blend of GMA Garnet™ and pyroxene.

Very low dust emissions, allowing for productive efficiency in projects and reducing emissions in the surrounding environment
A cost effective blend of garnet and pyroxene
High blasting efficiency, leading to lower abrasive consumption reducing blasting time and abrasive disposal
Waste management and garnet recycling: With the right equipment GMA can provide a high level of reusability through recycling onsite
GMA Garnet™ is an inert, sustainable natural mineral with little to no recordable heavy metals or worker risks & hazards.
