Coated Abrasivers
A Coated Abrasive is a product that consists of a thin layer of abrasive grain attached to a substrate such as paper, cloth, etc. Coated Abrasives come in a variety of forms such as sheets, discs, rolls, specialties, or belts. All coated abrasive products are made with a two stage bonding process. The first layer of bond applied to the backing is called the make coat. The make coat provides the adhesive base between the abrasive mineral and the backing.The second coat is the size coat, which is applied over the abrasive mineral and make coat to anchor the abrasive mineral and provide the desired physical strength of the finished product.
Common applications of Coated Abrasivers are:
- • Construction
