GMA Garnet

For over 20 years Blastech has been helping Queensland corrosion control contractors to reduce operating costs and comply with legislative requirements by supporting them with GMA Garnet.

GMA Garnet is an almandite garnet abrasive blasting media mined from a unique alluvial deposit near Geraldton in Western Australia. Thousands of years of processing by nature has produced a deposit of tough, low dusting grains.

GMA Garnet then takes this excellent raw material and processes it through a 21 stage, ISO compliant washing, drying and grading system to produce an internationally utilized abrasive blasting media.
