GMA PremiumBlast™


High Performance Maintenance Grade Garnet Abrasive

GMA PremiumBlast™ garnet abrasive is a high performance, maintenance grade blasting abrasive that delivers the most efficient and cost-effective blast cleaning for surfaces that have heavy rust or thick coatings.


GMA PremiumBlast™ ideally suited for surface preparation for maintenance and repair applications for the following industries:

  • Building industry and structural steel.
  • Construction and maintenance of containers and tanks, tank trucks and rail tanks, wagons and coaches.
  • Maintenance of chemical plants, power stations, mining and processing equipment, gas and sewerage plants, desalination and industrial plants.
  • Oil and Petrochemical maintenance in refineries and storage tanks including on-shore and off-shore installation.
  • Shipyards, conversion and repair including anti-magnetic and other special steels.


Unique and Cost-Saving Advantages

Superior cleaning rate – up to twice the performance of conventional abrasives, with more grains per volume (typical 13 million grains per kg) of active abrasive particles impacting the surface at the rate of 15-20m2 per hour.


Low consumption rate of 10-12kg/m2 is easily achieved.  GMA PremiumBlast™ is recyclable up to 4-6 times (depending on the application) due to its superior toughness and low friability (7.5-8.0 Mohs).  It is possible to reduce garnet consumption by 60% via recycling.


SA3 white metal is effortlessly achieved. The shape and size of the grains ensure an even surface profile of 50-85 microns at 100psi at the blast nozzle.

GMA SpeedBlast™


High Performance General Purpose Garnet Abrasive


GMA SpeedBlast™ garnet abrasive is a high performance, general purpose blasting abrasive that delivers the most efficient and cost-effective blast cleaning on most surfaces that have medium rust or medium thickness coatings.


GMA SpeedBlast™ garnet abrasive is well suited to a broad range of applications in the surface preparation industry:

  • Building, structural steel construction and maintenance.
  • Construction and maintenance of chemical plants, power stations, mining and processing equipment, gas and sewerage plants, desalination and industrial plants.
  • Construction and maintenance of containers and tanks, tank trucks and rail tanks, wagons and coaches.
  • Oil and Petrochemical maintenance on pipelines, refineries and storage tanks including on-shore and off-shore installations.


Unique and Cost-Saving Advantages


Superior cleaning rate – up to twice the performance of conventional abrasives with more grains per volume (typically 20 million grains per kg) of active abrasive particles impacting the surface at the rate of 15-25m2 per hour.


Low consumption rate of 8-10kg/m2 is easily achieved. GMA SpeedBlast™ garnet is recyclable up to 4-6 times (depending on the application) due to its superior toughness and low friability (7.5-8.0 Mohs). It is possible to reduce garnet consumption by 65% via recycling.


SA3 white metal is effortlessly achieved. The shape and size of the grains ensure an even surface profile of 50-70 microns at 100psi at the blast nozzle.
