RK GARNET #10/12
RK GARNET #10/20: Product Overview
RK GARNET #10/20 is a coarse-grade abrasive engineered for demanding surface preparation and heavy industrial blasting operations. Its optimal particle size provides strong cutting power while maintaining controlled surface profiling, making it highly effective for removing tough coatings, rust, and mill scale from structural steel and industrial equipment.
Produced from 100% virgin Indian garnet, this grade offers excellent hardness, low dust generation, and consistent grain quality to ensure efficient blasting performance. RK GARNET #10/20 is widely used across shipyards, oil & gas facilities, heavy fabrication industries, and infrastructure maintenance projects where reliability and productivity are essential. Its balanced performance allows businesses to achieve faster cleaning rates while maintaining high-quality surface preparation for protective coating systems.
Typical Applications
- Structural steel surface preparation
- Removal of rust, scale, and old industrial coatings
- Shipyard blasting and marine maintenance
- Oil & gas pipeline and storage tank cleaning
- Heavy fabrication and engineering projects
- Surface preparation before protective coatings
