Sharpjet is produced in mines certified for listing on the QPL-22262 – MIL-A-22262B Abrasive Blasting Media (Cage: SGJ21). Sharpjet is an excellent source of washed, alluvial almandite garnet. Our customers are very pleased with the performance of Sharpjet for waterjet abrasive
cutting applications and sandblasting abrasive applications.
Benefits of
Sharpjet garnet
abrasive - Benefits of Sharpjet Garnet (PDF)
- Sharpjet garnet is mined in its
natural, angular form, making it
one of the most sought-after abrasives in
the business.
- Environmentally and health-safe
(contains no heavy metals)
- Reduce air emissions greatly with
garnet abrasive
- Low dusting - due to its highly durable
crystalline structure.
- Mohs hardness of 7.5, Specific Gravity
of 4.0 - Technical Data Sheet (PDF)
- Virtually silica free (less than
<0.5%) - MSDS (PDF)
- Low Chlorides
- White metal finish without embedment
- Mil Spec and CARB Approved, Meets AB1
- With proper metering, 70% less
abrasive is used than slag & cuts 30-40%
faster than slag - Sharpjet
Blasting Guidelines (PDF)
- Unique grain-hardness/toughness
reduces particle breakdown
- Bulk density of 150 lbs/ft3 vs. 110
lbs. for sand & slag abrasives
- Recycles 2-3 times
- Lower abrasive disposal cost/lower
containment cost
- Supplied by Universal Minerals under
Stringent QC Program
