COATED ABRASIVES
Belts | Discs | Rolls | Sheets | Flaps & Mops
Coated abrasives contain abrasive grains held together in a matrix of glass, resin, rubber, or other binders. They are called “coated” because a coating of adhesive is applied to the backing to anchor a single layer of abrasive grain. Coated abrasives are available in sheets, rolls, discs and belts and are used primarily for finishing and light-to-medium grinding. They are used to remove surface materials such as metal, ceramics, glass, plastics, and paint. Coated abrasives are used in both grinding wheels and abrasive stones or sticks. Grinding wheels are used in a variety of applications and industries, while abrasive stones or sticks are used for sharpening edges and honing internal or external surfaces.
