Using GMA Garnet™ results in a more uniform surface profile, which is crucial for coating adhesion and longevity. Higher peak density, achieved through GMA Garnet™, ensures coatings adhere better and last longer. Consistent surface profiles with fewer peaks and valleys require less primer and reduce material costs while optimizing coating performance. Hear from GMA's VP of New Market Development and Technical Management, Pete Mitchell, as he explains the science behind peak density and its impact on coating life. #GMAGarnet #AbrasiveBlasting #CoatingLife

GMA PremiumBlast™ is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of industrial projects requiring thorough surface cleaning and preparation. Its unique properties help achieve optimal adhesion for coatings, ensuring long-lasting protection against corrosion. When corrosion protection experts Heinrich Schmid took on the maintenance work for Salier Bridge in Speyer, Germany, they found the abrasives they were using to be underperforming. Moreover, the dust levels during blasting were very high. The search for a cleaner, higher performing abrasive led them to GMA PremiumBlast™. The trial of PremiumBlast™ on the Salier Bridge achieved: →Remarkable productivity gains: A 49.2% reduction in overall project costs. →Enhanced safety: Reduced dust emissions leading to cleaner surfaces and quicker inspection approvals. →Operational efficiency: Set a new standard for future projects with substantial labor and time savings. →Abrasive savings: 63% reduction in abrasive consumption, saving 16.07 kg/m² Read more - https://lnkd.in/gs3M9KP5 #gmagarnet #abrasives #corrosion #garnet
