GMA Garnet is a cost-effective, high-performance, environmentally friendly abrasive.
The perfect symbiosis of grain size, density and hardness/durability creates the optimum
abrasive efficiency and lowest abrasive consumption. It can be recycled 5 times without
losing it's superior ability. Low dusting improves health and safety for the operator and the
environment.
