We manufacture & export a wide range of garnet sand that is manufactured using superior grade raw material. This ensures that the final product is also of high quality. One of the main reasons why our range of blasting grade is widely preferred is due to its tough mineral structure. This allows the particles to settle down quickly and result in reduced dusting during the blasting process.
