GMA Garnet™ provides a range of high-performance garnet abrasives for civil and commercial infrastructure, delivering proven benefits and improvements in abrasive productivity and performance.
 
Approved by paint and coating manufacturers around the world, GMA Garnet™ is the preferred garnet abrasive of major industrial fabricators, builders and commercial contractors. From commercial buildings and plant facilities to stadiums and bridges, GMA is a global leader in abrasives that provide proven efficiency gains.

Commercial Structural Steel, Stadiums & Venues

  • Fabrication of structural steel: GMA NewSteel™ is the fastest abrasive on the market for removing hard mill scale.
  • Creating the required surface profile with consistent peak density - much higher than alternate abrasives (3-5 times higher than slags) for stronger coating adhesion
  • Exceptional surface cleanliness with minimal abrasive embedment for better corrosion resistance and substrate integrity
  • 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

Bridges

  • 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 than waste slags
  • Creating the required surface profile with consistent peak density for stronger coating adhesion
  • Exceptional surface cleanliness with minimal abrasive embedment for better corrosion resistance and substrate integrity
  • GMA Garnet™ is an inert, sustainable natural mineral, with little to no recordable heavy metals, reducing worker risks and hazards, and environmental contamination

Water & Wastewater – Storage and Treatment

  • 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
  • Creating the required surface profile with consistent peak density for stronger coating adhesion
  • Exceptional surface cleanliness with minimal abrasive embedment for better corrosion resistance and substrate integrity
  • Community Health & Safety – Safest abrasive to lower risk in residential areas and for workers.
  • GMA Garnet™ abrasives are inert natural minerals, with little to no heavy metals reducing the potential of environmental contamination.
