Hard Rock Garnet

Introduction

HOMEBASE HARD ROCK GARNET is a non-metallic naturally obtainable mineral abrasive which is also known as almandine garnet. It is the harviest and hardest of garnets. Thanks to its proper hardness,physical and chemical properties, HOMEBASE HARD ROCK GARNET is used widely for waterjet cutting, sandblasting and water filtration, offering high efficiency, low cost and clean environment.

Indentified Features

Homebase Rock Garnet is processed to the high quality,with strict quality control at every stage of processing,packaging and transportation.HB laboratory facilities ensure consistant and qualified materials according to ISO11126 & 11127. Our rock garnet has the following indentified features:

  • Sharpen edge: Rock garnet's unique charateristics
  • Economic: Compared with synthetic abrasives of similar hardness,it is much more cheaper
  • Non-contaminating: Only physical processing and no chemicals used, which protects enviroment.
  • Safe and heathy: Without free silica
  • Low Dust: 4 steps washing making sure of low dust. The Garnet leads itself to perfect performance.
  • Eco-friendly nature abrasive: Non-toxic with no radioactive components
