BARTON completed the due diligence regarding the proper hazard classification for our garnet abrasives and had a third-party expert lead a scientific Hazard Classification Study. Not all garnet abrasives are the same, nor have all garnet abrasives suppliers undertaken the same rigorous assessment to accurately classify the hazards with their products. We encourage you to develop a relationship with all your suppliers so that you are in the best position to ensure the health and safety of your employees.
