About Abrasive Discs

Abrasive discs consist of abrasive grains applied to a backing made of cloth, fiber, film, paper, non-woven, or other material. The abrasive grains remove surface materials such as metal, ceramics, glass, plastics, and paint. Consequently, abrasive discs are used in wet and dry grinding, sanding, cleaning, polishing, and surface preparation in a variety of industries, including metalworking, woodworking, ceramics, and semiconductors. A disc’s backing, abrasive grain, grit size, and mounting help determine its applications.
