CHARACTERISTICS AND ADVANTAGES :
Garnet is a high-quality abrasive with great versatility, ideal for the preparation of delicate surfaces. It is composed of almandine garnet grains, one of the hardest minerals in the world.
As a natural, silica-free, durable abrasive that contains no iron, it is suitable for treating stainless steel and aluminum.
It is also the most popular abrasive for waterjet cutting worldwide.
