Sharp sub‑angular grains provide strong cutting performance. It delivers fast cutting speed for metal and stone under standard water‑jet working pressure.
It contains no free silica, protecting operators from silicosis risk and complying with international occupational‑safety requirements.
Moderate toughness prevents excessive pulverization during impact. Garnet keeps good grain integrity, improves abrasive utilization rate and reduces dust and pipeline blockage.
Low‑chloride feature avoids rust spots on cut metal surfaces such as carbon steel and stainless steel.
It realizes cold cutting with no heat‑affected zone. No thermal deformation or material burning occurs. It works well for titanium alloy, composite materials and glass.
It produces neat cutting edges with minimum burrs, which reduces secondary grinding and polishing workload.
Cost‑effective compared with silicon carbide and alumina abrasives. It is the most widely‑used abrasive for water‑jet cutting industry.

Note: Garnet has lower hardness than silicon carbide, so it shows limited efficiency for extra‑hard workpieces like hard alloy.
