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. Read More

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. Read More

1. "Finer mesh = cleaner, better finish" It sounds right, but it's wrong for most jobs. 120 mesh lacks the impact to strip heavy rust or thick coatings on carbon steel. We've seen this cut cleaning efficiency by 40% vs. standard 30/60 mesh. That's 16+ square meters lost in an 8-hour shift — $200+ a Read More

Garnet sandblasting requires on average 30% to 50% less consume. Producing an exceptionally clean surface and uniform profile that works hard to keep your project on schedule and within budget.Interested in learning more about how our abrasives can help raise productivity and minimize costs for your Read More
