GMA PremiumBlast 30/60 Garnet Abrasive Media for Sandblasting
Sku: P-GAPB
GMA PremiumBlast 30/60 Garnet Abrasive Media for Sandblasting (SKU: P-GAPB, MPN: GAPB) is a versatile and cost-effective blasting media specifically designed for coating removal, rust treatment, and general industrial maintenance. Blended from high-quality alluvial garnet, this abrasive achieves a uniform surface profile of 60–100 microns, making it ideal for projects requiring strong coating adhesion.
This premium abrasive is frequently used in industries such as construction, chemical processing, mining, utilities, and marine maintenance. Common applications include cleaning of tanks, pipelines, pressure vessels, ship hulls, ballast tanks, and offshore platform components. The 30/60 mesh size supports a smooth flow through blasting machines, ensuring steady media delivery without clogging metering valves. GMA PremiumBlast offers a superior balance of hardness, grain shape, and density—blasting faster than steel grit while emitting significantly less dust.
This results in a cleaner, safer work environment and improved job site visibility. It is ISO11126 and ISO11127 compliant, with low turbidity and virtually no fines, contributing to its reputation as a high-quality abrasive. Designed for both dry and wet blasting, PremiumBlast is compatible with vapor, slurry, and mist systems such as Graco EcoQuip, Torbo, Greener Blast, Dustless Blasting, and Amphiblast machines. While suitable for single-use applications, it can also be recycled in controlled blasting environments.

Silica Sand Warning: Crystalline silica is a Class 1 Carcinogen, and silica sand used in blasting can cause silicosis—a serious and potentially fatal lung condition. GMA Garnet abrasives, like PremiumBlast, are safer alternatives with negligible free silica, providing a healthier and more compliant solution for abrasive blasting.
