Australian Garnet: Premium Blasting Media Sourced from Western Australia
When it comes to performance, purity, and environmental safety, Australian Garnet stands in a league of its own. With naturally tough grains, low dust output, and world-class processing standards, it’s become the abrasive of choice for contractors across Australia and New Zealand — and increasingly around the world.
What Makes Australian Garnet Different?
Sourced from ancient alluvial deposits near Geraldton, Western Australia, Australian Garnet is geologically older and naturally refined through millions of years of erosion. Unlike lower-quality garnets that must be crushed from rock, Australian Garnet is formed and polished by nature — making it tougher, cleaner, and more efficient for blasting.
- Extremely Low Dust: Naturally hard and sub-angular grains reduce dust at the nozzle
- High Purity: Washed with spring water, screened, and batch tested to keep soluble salts below 10 ppm
- Durability: Recyclable across multiple blasting cycles — saving you on material and cleanup costs
- Safe for Operators & Environment: Free of heavy metals and crystalline silica
Whether you’re blasting steel, aluminium, stainless steel, or glass, Australian Garnet delivers consistently clean surfaces with minimal embedment or contamination risk.
Engineered Blends for Optimal Blasting
Many abrasive media are made of uniform particle sizes. Australian Garnet — especially when formulated into engineered blends — includes a distribution of both coarse and fine particles, allowing it to cut and clean in one pass.
- Coarse particles break coatings and rust
- Fine particles clean the anchor profile
This leads to faster job completion, lower consumption, and a more uniform surface ready for coating.
Where Is Australian Garnet Used?
Australian Garnet is trusted in high-performance blasting applications including:
- Oil & Gas maintenance and pipelines
- Shipyards and marine blasting
- Tank interiors and chemical liners
- Bridges, structural steel, and infrastructure
- New steel fabrication
Compare to Other Abrasives
Compared to imported or crushed garnet (often from India, China, or North America), Australian Garnet:
- Produces less dust due to double-weathered grains
- Has more consistent particle size and angularity
- Is traceable with lab analysis available for every batch
