Product Selection Differences for Non Woven Abrasives

When selecting non-woven abrasives, there are several key factors to consider:

  1. Material Composition: Non-woven abrasives are made of nylon fibers impregnated with abrasive grains and are available in various combinations of materials for different applications. Some common materials used include aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, and ceramic grains.

  2. Abrasive Grit Size: The grit size determines the coarseness or fineness of the abrasive. Different grit sizes are suitable for various applications, from heavy stock removal to fine finishing.

  3. Density: The density of non-woven abrasives can vary, affecting their aggressiveness and durability. Higher density products are generally more durable and aggressive, suitable for heavy-duty applications.

  4. Backing Type: Non-woven abrasives can have different backing types such as scrim-backed, film-backed, or foam-backed, each offering different levels of flexibility, conformability, and durability.

  5. Abrasive Type: Non-woven abrasives come in different types such as discs, belts, wheels, sheets, and rolls, each designed for specific applications and tools.

  6. Application: Consider the specific application requirements such as material type, surface finish needed, and the level of aggressiveness required. Different non-woven abrasives are tailored for specific applications like blending, deburring, cleaning, or polishing.

  7. Brand Reputation: Look for reputable brands known for producing high-quality non-woven abrasive products with consistent performance and durability.

  8. Cost: Compare prices of different non-woven abrasives while considering the quality, performance, and longevity of the product to ensure value for money.

By considering these key differences, you can select the most suitable non-woven abrasives for your specific needs and applications. Always refer to product specifications and manufacturer recommendations for the best results.
