River Garnet Source
Alluvial river garnet is selected for stable mineral quality, cleaner material and reliable abrasive performance.
Sandblasting and shot blasting are both abrasive surface preparation methods, differing mainly in how abrasives are propelled. Compressed-air sandblasting offers flexible access to large, complex or on-site structures, while centrifugal wheel blasting delivers efficient, consistent treatment for batches of regular parts. Garnet abrasive, with its non-metallic, low-dust properties, is an ideal choice for compressed-air sandblasting to achieve reliable cleaning and coating adhesion.
Learn how to assess rusted steel, choose between SGA 20/40 and SGA 30/60, set a trial blast and verify cleanliness and surface profile before coating.
Washed and screened garnet may reduce one source of blasting dust, but rust, coatings and the underlying surface also contribute. Learn what low dust means and what must still be controlled on site.
