A low price does not mean much until the product behind it is clear. Two quotations may use the same description—garnet abrasive—while referring to different applications, particle-size ranges or packaging. Freight and inspection terms can widen the difference further.
A useful comparison therefore starts with the job. Once the required product and acceptance evidence are defined, the buyer can judge whether the prices are genuinely comparable.
Waterjet cutting and abrasive blasting place different demands on garnet. A waterjet operator is concerned with stable feeding through the cutting head. A blasting contractor needs enough impact for the coating and surface being treated. Naming the application prevents a general product name from becoming the specification.
Blasting and waterjet cutting require different garnet selection priorities.
Next, confirm the grade accepted by the equipment or project. SGA ranges include 20/40 and 30/60 for blasting, with 80 and 120 mesh options for waterjet cutting. These names describe controlled particle-size distributions; they do not mean that every grain has one identical diameter. The final choice still depends on the equipment and required result.
Appearance can support an incoming inspection, but it cannot replace particle-size or batch data.
Ask for documents early enough to review them before shipment. Their functions are different, so one file cannot replace the others.
| Document | What it provides | Buyer check |
|---|---|---|
| TDS | Typical product characteristics and available grading information | Confirm that the listed grade matches the inquiry. |
| SDS | Handling, health and emergency information | Use the current SDS for workplace review. |
| Batch COA | Results reported for an identified production or shipment lot | Check the lot reference and agreed acceptance items. |
The SGA TDS lists typical characteristics and sieve ranges. Shipment acceptance should use the agreed batch evidence.
The current SGA Garnet Technical Data Sheet can be reviewed before inquiry. Commercial documents—including the invoice, packing list and bill of lading—are prepared separately according to the order and shipping arrangement.
Quantity changes the loading plan. Packaging affects handling at both ends. The quotation should therefore identify the net weight, bag format and any pallet requirement. SEPPE supplies 25 kg paper or PP woven bags as well as 1 MT jumbo bags.
The bag material and labeling should match the confirmed order.
Trade terms need the same clarity. FOB, CFR and CIF allocate transport responsibilities differently. If the preferred term has not been decided, provide the destination port and required delivery window. The supplier can then prepare a quotation on a defined basis rather than make assumptions.
Jumbo-bag and pallet arrangements should be agreed before container loading.
For a trial order, decide what will be checked when the material arrives and what evidence will resolve a disagreement. Long-term buyers may also need an agreed sampling method or third-party inspection. These details are easier to settle before production than after the cargo reaches port.
Supply capacity matters when consumption is continuous, but a capacity figure alone is not enough. Ask whether repeat orders can follow the same approved specification and whether batch records can be traced when a question arises.
Price becomes useful at the end of this process. Define the application, agree the product and documents, then compare the commercial offer. For current specifications, packaging or quotation support, provide SEPPE with the application, quantity and destination through the contact page.
