About Abrasives and Abrasive Products

Abrasives and abrasive products are used to remove surface materials such as metal, ceramics, glass, plastics, and paint. Abrasives and abrasive products include discs, belts, blast machines and sandblasters, as well as sheets, rolls, and handpads. Some abrasives and abrasive products are designed for use on bench or back stand grinders, while others are designed for use on portable or handheld grinders or sanders. Bonded abrasives, which include grinding wheels, use abrasive grains held together in a matrix of glass, resin, rubber, or other binders. Coated abrasives consist of an abrasive grain layer adhesively bonded to the surface of a cloth belt, fiber disc, plastic film, paper sheet, or other backing.

Products & Services Related to Abrasives and Abrasive Products

Abrasive Belts

Abrasive belts consist of abrasive grain adhered onto the surface of a cloth, film, paper, non-woven or other backing.

Abrasive Discs

Abrasive discs consist of abrasive grain adhered onto the surface of a cloth, film, paper, non-woven or other backing. They are used for metal removal, surface finishing, sanding, etc.

Abrasive Grain and Finishing Media

Abrasive grain and finishing media includes crushed grit, metal shot, glass beads or shaped chips for blasting, mass finishing (vibratory or tumbling), bonded wheels, coated abrasives, ball milling, water jet cutting, and other applications.

Abrasive, grinding and finishing accessories include holders, back-up pads, mandrels, contact wheels, polishing naps and other components used to apply abrasive products.

Abrasive Sheets, Rolls and Hand Pads

Abrasive sheets, rolls or pads consists of abrasive grain adhered onto the surface of a cloth, film, paper, non-woven, sponge or other backing usually with a die cut square or rectangular shape.

Ball Milling and Grinding Media

Ball milling and grinding media are designed for ball milling and the grinding down of bulk, powder or granular materials into finer powder forms or disperse pigments in a resin or coating.

Blast Media and Blasting Abrasives

Blast media and blasting abrasives are consumables used in surface preparation processes, such as sandblasting and peening.

Bonded Abrasives

Bonded abrasives consist of conventional abrasive grains held together in a matrix of glass, resin, rubber or other binders. This classification includes grinding wheels, cut-off wheels, honing stones, mounted points and grinding segments.

Coated Abrasives

Coated abrasives are used for abrading, smoothing, or polishing.

Contact Wheels

Contact wheels drive and provide backup support for abrasive belts. They are available in a variety of face profiles, materials and diameters.
