Garnet

Specifications:

Garnet is a naturally occurring gem mineral with uniform physical, chemical, hardness, friability and micro-structure characteristics, which provide the essential properties for filtration and other industrial uses.  Applications range from small, single-media filters to technically advanced multimedia commercial and industrial systems
