Almandite Garnet • Fe3Al2(SiO4)3 • SiO2 (Silicon Dioxide) 36% • Al2O3(Aluminum Oxide) 20% • Fe2O3 (Iron Oxides) 32% • MnO,CaO,MgO,TiO2 12%
Mohs Hardness of 7.5 • Virtually Silica Free (less than 0.5%) • Environmentally and Health Safe • Specific Gravity of 4.0 • Bulk Density of 140 lbs/ft3
Makes 3-4 times higher impact than sand of same grain size • Use 70% less Abrasive than Slag and Cuts 30-40% faster • Unique Grain Hardness/Toughness reduces breakdown • Recycles 2-3 times
White Metal Finish without Imbedment • Density plays a Large Role in Performance • The Goal is to Achieve the Maximum Acceleration with Heaviest Particle Possible
Reduce Air Emissions with Garnet Blast. • Blasting with slag.
The Garnet Difference Coal Slag imbedded into metal White Metal Blast with Garnet

Cost per Square Foot @ 178 sq. ft.SP-10 Blast with Garnet Abrasive Cleaning Rate of 178 sq. ft. per hour Abrasive at $ 0.17/lb • 4 lbs/minute x $ 0.17 = $ 0.68 per minute • $ 0.68/3 sq. ft. per minute = $ 0.23 sq. ft. Labor at $50 per hour • $50/178 sq. ft. per hour = $ 0.28 sq. ft. Consumables at $50 per hour • $50/178 sq. ft. per hour = $ 0.28 sq. ft. Abrasive Disposal at $25 per ton ($.0125/lb) • 4 lbs/minute divided by 3 sq. ft. per minute = 1.33 lbs/sq. ft. • 1.33 lbs sq. ft. x $.0125/lb = $ 0.016 sq. ft. TOTAL = $ 0.81 sq. ft.
Cost per Square Foot @ 220 sq. ft.SP-10 Blast with Garnet Abrasive Cleaning Rate of 220 sq. ft. per hour Abrasive at $ 0.17/lb • 4 lbs/minute x $ 0.17 = $ 0.68 per minute • $ 0.68/3.7 sq. ft. per minute = $ 0.18 sq. ft. Labor at $50 per hour • $50/220 sq. ft. per hour = $ 0.23 sq. ft. Consumables at $50 per hour • $50 hour/220 sq. ft. per hour = $ 0.23 sq. ft. Abrasive Disposal at $25 per ton ($.0125/lb) • 4 lbs/minute divided by 3.7 sq. ft. per minute = 1.08 lbs/sq. ft. • 1.08 lbs sq. ft. x $.0125/lb = $ 0.035 sq. ft. TOTAL = $ 0.66 sq. ft.
