SYNTHETIC ABRASIVES
• Aluminium oxide is tough and well adapted to grinding
high tensile materials, such as carbon steel, alloy
steels, tough bronze and hard woods. Wherever
toughness (ability to resist fracturing) is the main
consideration, aluminium oxide out performs all other
coated abrasive grains
• Silicon carbide is the hardest and sharpest of the
minerals used in coated abrasives. Its hardness
and sharpness make it the ideal abrasive for sanding
non-ferrous metals (aluminium, brass, bronze,
magnesium, titanium, etc.), rubber, glass, plastics,
fibrous woods, enamel and other relatively soft
materials. Silicon carbide is superior to any other
abrasive in its ability to penetrate and cut faster
under light pressure
• Zirconia alumina has a unique self-sharpening
characteristic which gives it long life on rugged stock
removal operations. Zirconia alumina is well suited for
heavy grinding of metals and planing of wood, because
the controlled fracturing of the grain continuously
produces sharp, new abrading points
• Ceramic aluminium oxide is a long-lasting, tough,
dense abrasive due to its micro structure.
The extremely small micron size particles break off
during grinding, producing multiple new cutting edges.
As it stays sharp, especially when used in medium and
high pressure operations, it cuts at a higher rate than
other abrasives. Recommended for use on forged and
carbon steels, high nickel and cobalt alloys.
