Garnet technical data sheet
Garnet is a natural mineral belonging to the garnet group, characterized by remarkable hardness and resistance. Composed of about 97-98% Almandine, one of the hardest garnets, it has a hardness of 8 on the Mohs scale, a high specific weight of 4.1 kg/dm³, and low friability, characteristics that make it ideal for highly effective sandblasting processes.
