FIBER ABRASIVE FLEECE

• When producing abrasive fleece, abrasive grinding bodies such as carborundum (made of silicon carbide) or corundum (made of aluminum oxide) are bonded to a nylon fiber nonwoven with a synthetic resin. As a result, the hardness and cooling effect of the abrasive fleece varies depending on the fiber thickness, the fleece density and the physical-chemical properties of the binding agent used.
• Due to its free-flowing design, the fiber abrasive fleece is self-cleaning and does not clog during the grinding process. In addition, the chemical and physical strength of the fiber composite enables not only the use in dry processes, but also the use of water or oil media.
• Because the nonwoven is flexible, it enables efficient processing of even complex profiles and geometries with low removal. Due to the constant wear of the carrier material, new abrasive particles are constantly released in uniform concentrations. Accordingly, polishing tools made of fiber abrasive fleece are extremely low-maintenance and provide a uniform grinding pattern throughout their entire service life.

ALUMINUM OXIDE (AO) / "CORUNDUM"

Corundum consists of over 95 percent aluminum oxide and is the most frequently used abrasive particle in abrasives. However, as the degree of purity increases, its hardness and brittleness increase, which has a negative effect on the longevity of the abrasive grain and thus on the uniformity of the grinding pattern. For this reason, we mainly use abrasive fleece with doped and therefore tougher types of corundum. On the one hand, this increases the service life of the polishing tools and, on the other hand, makes the grinding pattern more uniform overall compared to non-doped aluminum oxide.
