GMA NewSteel™

High Performance New Steel Garnet Abrasive

GMA NewSteel^TM Garnet is a high performance blasting abrasive, that delivers the most efficient and cost effective surface preparation on new steel surfaces, light rust or thin coatings.

GMA NewSteel^TM Garnet is ideally suited for surface preparation in the fabrication industry:

 Construction of chemical plants, power stations, mining and processing equipment, gas and sewerage plants, desalination and industrial plants.

 Construction in the building industry and structural steel. 

 Construction and maintenance of containers and tanks, tank trucks and rail tanks, as well as wagons and coaches. 

 Stone building facades and monuments. 

 Stainless Steel.

Unique and Cost-Saving Advantages

Superior cleaning rate - up to twice the performance of conventional abrasives, with more grains per volume (typical 28 million grains per kilogram) of active abrasive particles impacting the surface. You can achieve a rate of 20-25m² per hour.

Low consumption rates of 7-10kg/m² are easily achieved. Recyclable up to 6-8 times under normal conditions because of its superior toughness and low friability (7.5-8.0 Mohs). You can expect a 70% reduction in garnet consumption when recycling.

SA3 White Metal is effortlessly achieved. The shape and size of the grains ensure an even surface profile of 45-55 microns at 100psi at the blast nozzle.

Perth, Australia

Our business focuses on being the market leader in protective coating applications and a provider of industrial services to primarily Oil & Gas and Mining clients in Western Australia and other Australian states. This has been accomplished through our strong commitment to customer services and the delivery of consistent high levels of workmanship.

We presently use GMA NewSteel™ Garnet for all blast cleaning on surfaces with new steel, light rust or thin coating and have done so for the past ten years. We use GMA PremiumBlast™ Garnet for all our offsite maintenance work, which generally involves heavy rust or thick coatings.

We have found GMA NewSteel™ Garnet to be the most cost-effective and it is fastest blasting abrasive for ‘new steel’ applications, reliably delivering a profile between 45-55 microns.
