Surface Preparation

Non-woven abrasives are waterproof, clog free, long lasting and non-conductive. The open construction of the fibres reduces heat during the finishing process which helps to avoid discolouration of the workpiece. Non-woven abrasives are available in sheets and rolls for use by hand or manufactured specifically for use with grinders and sanders in the form of flap wheels, compacted blending discs, velcro discs and grinding wheels. Non-woven abrasives are used for blending and processing metals, wood, solid surfaces and other composites. Protrade stock a range of non-woven abrasives from 3M, Mirka and Klingspor.
