Why Garnet Is the Preferred Abrasive in UAE Shipyards & Oil-and-Gas Projects

  Garnet has become the leading abrasive for blasting applications in UAE shipyards, fabrication yards, and oil-and-gas projects due to its hardness, low dust output, and reliable performance in harsh Gulf conditions. Its clean cutting action delivers consistent surface profiles needed for long-lasting coatings, making it highly effective for marine and industrial environments across the UAE. Why UAE Shipyards Depend on Garnet Blasting In major shipyards in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Fujairah, garnet is widely used to remove rust, old marine coatings, and marine deposits from steel hulls. This ensures an ideal anchor pattern for new coating systems to bond strongly and protect vessels from corrosion caused by salty humidity and coastal exposure. The efficiency of garnet also helps shipyards reduce blasting time and improve coating quality.
