Deccan Garnet is an environmentally friendly, hard, angular abrasive. This premium natural mineral provides exceptional performance for a wide variety of abrasive blasting applications including blast rooms, shipyards, tanks, offshore platforms, and pipelines.
Because it is a hard and heavy abrasive with a hardness of 7.5-8.0 Mohs, Deccan Garnet increases productivity while reducing the amount of abrasive needed. The heavy sub-angular shaped grains provide high impact and cutting action with low amounts of dust emitted. With less dust and improved cutting ability, garnet can reduce cleanup time and increase productivity.
Abundant raw material reserves in the Deccan Peninsula and a quality-controlled processing plant ensures consistent product availability of high quality. Deccan Garnet can be recycled several times, cutting fast and reducing abrasive consumption. Less abrasive used means lower disposal cost.
