Product Lines

One mineral, four working grades

The same consistent deep-mine garnet, screened and blended to the exact cut your process needs — from abrasive tool manufacturing to precision waterjet and heavy-duty surface preparation.

Bonded & Coated

Raw Material for Abrasive Tools

Premium auxiliary material for resin-bonded grinding wheels and coated abrasives (sandpaper) — sharp grains, strong bonding, moderate bulk density, low magnetic content (≤ 0.09%).

  • For resin grinding wheels & sandpaper making
  • Angular grains, suitable bulk density, high cleanliness, strong bonding, moderate hardness, low magnetic content (≤ 0.09%)
  • Consistent grading per F / P sieve standards

Blasting

Blasting & Surface Preparation

Low-dust abrasive media for blast cleaning — workpiece surfaces free of residue and rust spots, reaching Sa 3 grade, making blast & coating pre-treatment more efficient and reliable.

  • Full F-series & P-series (P36–P220), highly stable grading and excellent roughness consistency
  • For high-standard blasting: military industry, high-speed rail, shipbuilding, bridges, oil & gas pipelines, storage tanks, small appliances and more
  • Recyclable — low consumption per m²

Waterjet

Waterjet Garnet

Fast, clean cutting and minimal nozzle wear — the workhorse of abrasive waterjet operations.

  • F-series F16–F180 (F46 / F60 / F80 typical for waterjet)
  • Angular grains for stable cutting speed
  • Bulk or bagged supply

Filtration

Filtration Media

High-density garnet granules for deep-bed multimedia filtration and water treatment systems.

  • Uniform grain size distribution
  • High specific gravity ≈ 4.0 — stable bed fluidization
  • Chemically inert, long service life

FAQ

Questions buyers ask us first

What garnet grades do you supply?

Our F-series covers F16–F180 and P-series covers P36–P220 — 25 grades in total. F46, F60 and F80 are the common waterjet choices, coarser grades suit blasting, and finer grades go down to P220. All grades are supplied to standard F/P sieve specifications.

How do you keep quality consistent between batches?

Every batch passes sieve analysis and chemical inspection before packing. A batch-level COA/COC is issued with each shipment, and pre-shipment inspection reports can be shared on request.

Can I get a sample before ordering?

Yes — we provide a free sample (typically 0.5–1 kg) with its COA. Courier freight is collect or prepaid by the buyer; sample credit is applied to your first bulk order.

What are the MOQ and packaging options?

Bulk orders start at one 20' FCL. Packaging: 25 kg PP bags, 1 MT jumbo bags, or bulk in container — palletized and optimized for safe loading.

What payment terms and lead time do you offer?

We accept T/T (30% deposit, balance against B/L copy) and irrevocable L/C at sight. Standard lead time is 10–15 working days after deposit.

Which documents come with a shipment?

Invoice, packing list, B/L, COA/COC, sieve analysis, SDS and certificate of origin. Third-party inspection (e.g., SGS or BV) can be arranged at loading on request.
