What is a Non-Woven abrasive product?
Non-woven’s are among the most versatile abrasive product. They are primarily used in the metalworking industry for a multitude of surface conditioning, de burring and finishing processes. Non-woven abrasives have a 3 dimensional open structure, which is achieved by combing and needling nylon fibre to form a web. Abrasive grain – primarily aluminium oxide and silicon carbide and resin are bonded throughout the web and then passed through a drying and curing stage. The grain is distributed throughout the structure of the product and as the nylon breaks down, fresh abrasive grain is exposed, ensuring a constant finish. Non-woven abrasive are a perfect solution to apply the final finish to any surface. Non-woven’s are also used in the automotive industry, solid surface finishing and de nibbing wood products.
