FAQ

  • Q How do I choose the right garnet grade?

    A

    The right garnet grade depends on the application, surface requirement, cutting quality and equipment conditions.

    SGA 20/40: heavy-duty sandblasting and strong cleaning.

    SGA 30/60: general blasting and coating preparation.

    SGA 80: general waterjet cutting.

    SGA 120: fine waterjet cutting and smoother edge requirements.

  • Q Do you support bulk garnet export orders?

    A

    Yes. SEPPE supports bulk garnet abrasive supply for overseas buyers.

    Raw material selection, processing and mesh classification.

    Packaging, palletizing and container loading support.

    Current garnet capacity reaches 150,000 tons per year.

  • Q What information is needed for a garnet quotation?

    A

    To provide an accurate quotation, please send the following details:

    Required garnet grade and mesh size.

    Application: waterjet cutting, sandblasting or surface preparation.

    Order quantity and packaging requirement.

    Destination port or delivery address.

  • Q Can I request garnet samples before ordering?

    A

    Yes. Samples can be provided for quality testing. Please share the key order information so SEPPE can recommend the right SGA garnet grade.

    Required garnet grade and mesh size.

    Application: waterjet cutting, sandblasting or surface preparation.

    Delivery address and contact information.

  • Q What packaging options are available for garnet abrasive?

    A

    SEPPE provides export packaging options for different order quantities and handling requirements.

    25kg woven bags for distributors and smaller batch use.

    1000kg jumbo bags for bulk orders and warehouse handling.

    Palletized packaging and container loading support for export shipment.

  • Q What materials can be cut with waterjet garnet?

    A

    Waterjet garnet can be used for cutting many industrial materials. The suitable garnet mesh depends on cutting speed, edge quality, material thickness and machine settings.

    Stainless steel, carbon steel and aluminum.

    Stone, ceramic, glass and tile.

    Rubber, plastic and composite materials.

  • Q What applications are suitable for sandblasting garnet?

    A

    SEPPE sandblasting garnet is suitable for industrial surface preparation where rust, mill scale, old coating or contaminants need to be removed before painting or coating.

    Shipbuilding and marine maintenance.

    Steel structures, bridges and machinery.

    Oil and gas pipelines, tanks and pressure vessels.

    Paint removal, rust removal and coating preparation.

  • Q Is garnet abrasive safer than silica sand?

    A

    Garnet abrasive is widely used as an alternative to silica sand because it has low dust and no free silica performance.

    Helps reduce dust generation during blasting.

    Supports cleaner industrial surface preparation.

    Operator protection and local safety rules should still be followed.

  • Q What is alluvial river garnet?

    A

    Alluvial river garnet is a natural garnet abrasive formed and selected through long-term water flow and mineral separation.

    Stable mineral quality and consistent mesh size.

    High hardness and good density for abrasive applications.

    Suitable for waterjet cutting, sandblasting and surface preparation.

  • Q Can waterjet garnet be used for sandblasting?

    A

    Yes, finer garnet grades can be used for some light blasting or fine surface preparation work, but waterjet garnet and blasting garnet are usually selected with different priorities.

    Waterjet cutting focuses on smooth abrasive flow and cutting accuracy.

    Sandblasting focuses on surface profile, rust removal and coating preparation.

    For regular sandblasting, SGA 20/40 and SGA 30/60 are more suitable.

  • Q Which garnet mesh is best for waterjet cutting?

    A

    SGA 80 is commonly used for general waterjet cutting because it offers stable abrasive flow, efficient cutting speed and good edge quality. SGA 120 is finer and is usually selected for precision cutting applications that require smoother edges, smaller kerf and better surface finish.

    SGA 80: general waterjet cutting.

    SGA 120: fine and precise waterjet cutting.

  • Q What is the difference between SGA 20/40 and SGA 30/60 garnet?

    A

    SGA 20/40 is a coarser garnet abrasive for heavy-duty sandblasting, rust removal, thick coating removal and large steel structure cleaning. SGA 30/60 is a medium blasting grade that provides a finer surface profile for general blasting, coating preparation and maintenance cleaning.

    SGA 20/40: stronger cutting and cleaning force.

    SGA 30/60: balanced cleaning speed and surface finish.
