What Are Abrasive Products & Tools?

Industrial abrasive products and tools, such as grinding wheels and fibre discs, are essential for various industries and applications. These products and tools remove material from surfaces by abrasion, which is the process of wearing away a surface through friction. Abrasion products are used in manufacturing, construction, and other industries where surfaces need to be smoothed or polished.

Grinding wheels are circular disks made of abrasive material used to grind, cut, or shape various materials. They are typically made of a hard, abrasive material, such as aluminum oxide or silicon carbide, and are used in various applications, including grinding, cutting, and finishing. Grinding wheels are typically mounted on a grinder or other power tool to remove material from a surface by rotating at high speeds.

Fibre discs, also known as sanding discs, are circular disks made of abrasive material used to sand, polish, or finish various materials. They are typically made of a flexible material, such as paper or fibre, and are coated with abrasive particles. Fibre discs are commonly used in woodworking, automotive, and other applications where surfaces need sanded or polished.

Both grinding wheels and fibre discs are available in a range of sizes and grits to suit different applications. The grit of an abrasive product refers to the size of the abrasive particles and determines the coarseness or fineness of the abrasive action. Coarser grits are used for heavy material removal, while finer grits are used for finishing and polishing.
