Water jet-cutting garnet 80mesh

Garnet is a andine rock garnet.

Garnet is mined from a hard rock deposit consisting of extremely aggressive and sharp grains.

The extremely low chloride levels of Rock Garnet reduces the chance of chloride contamination.

Rock Garnet's unique characteristics improve production rates, reduce abrasive usage, and lower disposal and clean-up costs.

High purity rock garnet provides fast cutting, ideal for removing thin to medium thickness coatings, mill scale, and rust.
