Concrete Additive

The overuse of river sand as an additive in concrete is leading to the depletion of riverbeds and negatively affecting already troubled ecosystems. Garnet has been proven to be a more than viable alternative, serving as a performant concrete additive in high-strength concrete.

Studies have shown that replacing 20 percent of sand in a concrete mixture with spent garnet enhances the structural performance of this essential building material and even improves its performance in elevated temperatures.

GMA supplied garnet can help innovate concrete, producing lighter concrete, reducing production costs and helping to mitigate the environmental impact of concrete.
