North American Garnet
- Mined by Emerald Creek Garnet from creek beddings in the Fernwood, Idaho area of the United States. Wesjet Garnet is washed with fresh water in a state-of-the-art washing facility. Because of this special process, Wesjet is one of the cleanest abrasives for waterjetting.
- Available in a number of sizes for very clean low-dust waterjetting and blasting.
- Recoverable and reusable.
Chinese Garnet
- A naturally occurring almandite garnet, the hardest of all known garnet types. All grades have a Moh’s hardness of 7-8, with a specific gravity of 3.75-4.3g/cm3.
- Suitable for sandblasting, water filtration, glass and tube blasting, anti-slip coating, waterjet cutting, abrasive applications, tumbling media and non-skid surfaces.
- The angular to sub angular particle size is proven to be very fast cutting, and provides a super clean surface for protective coating applications.
- Chemically inert, with less than 1% free silica and no heavy metals.
- Recoverable and reusable.
Indian Garnet
