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

Garnet removes rust and old coatings while leaving a profile for the next coating. This article explains why garnet suits surface preparation, where 20/40 and 30/60 fit and why a trial blast matters.` 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

Many customers reuse garnet abrasives to save costs. But how many times can you recycle it? And when should you stop? Using worn-out garnet doesn’t just slow down your work—it can also harm your equipment and your health. Here’s what you need to know. Typical Reuse CyclesFor most standard blasting a Read More
