ABRASIVE BLASTING
IOGS Blasting Grade Garnet is used for different jobs and to create different surface profiles.
It is used in offshore MGS, general marine structural steel, oil storage tanks, ships, rail cars, containers (mild steel and stainless steel), high chrome / nickel steel, pipes and sites that requires low dust limits.
Four major Blasting grades listed below are produced by IOGS for Abrasive blasting for surface preparation.

Advantages of IOGS Blasting Grade Garnet
IOGS supplies about 30,000 MTS of Blasting Grade Garnet per-annum; the quality of the product has been approved by several Oil companies in Far-East, Middle-East and Europe.The combination of tough mineral structure and rapid setting results in lower levels of dust creation during blasting Superior surface profile – garnet grains create a uniform profile virtually free of embedment, providing an excellent Surface for coating adhesion Cost-effective – highly effective, low consumption Non-toxic – inert and natural, crystalline silica levels are less than 1% Recyclable up to 5 times Easy cleanup Inert – will not interfere with your coatings Non-porous – will not draw moisture
