Each abrasive has its own features.
Let’s choose together the best for you!
For each flap wheel with spindle you need we produce the most suitable abrasive for you: aluminum oxide cloth, zirconia or ceramic, Trizact™, non-woven abrasive or mixed cloth.
To meet any need, we produce versatile abrasive flap wheels with spindle that can be set up with different types of cloth:
- aluminum oxide (A/O) cloth: used for roughing, grinding and finishing of steels, stainless steels, non-ferrous metals.
- zirconia cloth: ideal for the heavier operations on stainless steel and hard metal alloys.
- ceramic cloth: recommended for heavy removal and when a low temperature is required during processing.
- Trizact ™: to get a particularly smooth surface and a superior finishing.
- non-woven fabric: for a satin finishing on all metal surfaces.
- interleaved wheels: the best balance between removal and finishing.
- felt: for mirror polishing, with abrasive paste
Let’s see in detail all the types of cloths available.
Aluminum oxide (A/O) cloth
A/O cloth is used for roughing, grinding and finishing of steels, stainless steels, non-ferrous metals; on portable machines, with flexible shaft and fixed.
Binder: resin.
Coating type: closed.
Support: X-cotton flex.
Zirconia cloth
Zirconia abrasive cloth is more aggressive than aluminum oxide, therefore it is perfect for the heavier operations on stainless steel and hard alloys..
Binder: resin over resin.
Coating type: closed.
Support: triple flex X-cotton.
Ceramic cloth
Ceramic cloth is used for heavy removal when a low temperature is necessary.
These wheels are suitable for very resistant materials like stainless steel al metal alloys.
Binder: resin over resin.
Coating type: closed.
Support: poly-cotton.
Trizact™
Trizact™ is produced with precisely-shaped, three-dimensional mineral structures distributed uniformly over the abrasive backing.
This evenly-spaced configuration results in truly consistent performance.
Non-woven abrasive cloth
The non-woven abrasive wheels are used on electrical, pneumatic and flexible shaft portable machines tools for work on small surfaces.
These wheels have a lower removal capacity and are particularly indicated for satin finishing and grinding of metal surfaces.
Interleaved abrasive flap wheels have an high finishing/removal capacity ratio and can be used to remove small signs on surfaces.
Interleaved wheels
Interleaved wheels consist of abrasive flaps interleaved with non-woven and are used to
get the best balance between removal and finishing.
Interleaved abrasive flap wheels have an high finishing/removal capacity ratio and can be used to remove small signs on surfaces.
Felt
Felt wheels are usually used for mirror polishing, with abrasive paste.
