Randolph Rapple. “These garnet abrasives combine excellent blasting and abrasive waterjet cutting performance with outstanding economy.”

Delivering exceptional durability, ALLTEK abrasives are available in two HPA grades for waterjet cutting:

• 80 HPA – this versatile workhorse of waterjet abrasives provides good edge quality and solid cutting performance. May be used in virtually any precision waterjet operation.

ALLTEK is also available in two grades for blasting applications:

• 30/60 PLUS – a workhorse grade used for new steel and maintenance work on coatings up to 20 mils. Typically produces a 2.5-3.5 mil profile on steel.
• 80 HPA – ideal for steel, aluminum, and other sensitive substrates. The preferred abrasive for most vapor-blasting applications. Typically produces a 1.8-2.5 mil profile on steel.
