GMA Garnet Introduces Innovative ToughBlast™ Solution at Saudi Maritime Congress 2023: A Game-Changer in Coating Removal & Environmental Sustainability.
JUBAIL, SAUDI ARABIA, September 15, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — GMA Garnet Group is the trusted global leader in industrial garnet, providing the highest quality garnet abrasive to the marine, shipbuilding, waterjet cutting and protective coating industries for 40 years.
GMA is set to make a significant impact at the upcoming Saudi Maritime Congress 2023 by introducing GMA’s ToughBlast™, which is a versatile blend of garnet engineered for tough coating removal. Its unique mix of coarse and fine garnet effectively eliminates industrial coatings and surface contaminants, ensuring superior coating adhesion in diverse maintenance projects within the maritime & shipping industries.
GMA’s ToughBlast™ will provide these industries with a high performing substitute to copper slag, which contaminates the environment and creates disposal issues. Moreover, it presents a unique proposition with numerous benefits compared to copper slag, including:
1. Enhanced Safety: GMA Garnet™ maintains exceptionally low dust emissions, meeting all industry, government, and environmental standards.
2. Optimized Cost-Efficiency: GMA Garnet™ presents a prudent financial choice, as it allows industries to realize substantial reductions in ongoing vessel maintenance costs in the harshest environmental conditions.
3. Superior Surface Quality: GMA Garnet™ upholds the highest standards in surface preparation. Unlike copper slag, it provides the cleanest and most consistent surface for maximum corrosion protection.
Soni John, General Manager GMA Middle East, expressed his enthusiasm about the event, stating, “We are thrilled to participate in the Saudi Maritime Congress 2023. Our commitment to innovation and local market driven solutions aligns perfectly with the congress’s focus on shaping the maritime industry’s future.
“We look forward to engaging with industry peers, partners, and stakeholders to foster collaborations and exchange ideas.”
The exhibition is scheduled to take place on September 20-21, 2023, at the Dhahran Expo, Dammam, Saudi Arabia. The event promises to be a pivotal platform for maritime industry leaders to converge and explore the latest advancements, solutions, and best practices.
Attendees can anticipate an immersive experience at GMA Garnet’s booth A40, where they will discover the transformative power of products that redefine industry norms. Furthermore, the congress presents a unique opportunity for professionals to engage in insightful discussions, network with industry thought leaders, and gain valuable insights into the future of maritime practices.
