Understanding the product

 

 



 

Differentiation within the range

 

Where greater differentiation is needed within a range, such as Hand Sanding Sheets, this is done through colour coding and application instructions.
 
 


 


 

Selecting the right product - paper products

 

Colour coding and specific application illustrations are used to differentiate between product types to make product selection easier.

 

Glasspaper

Economy hand sanding sheets are ideal for general purpose applications.



 

General Purpose Aluminium Oxide Paper

This tough and sharp aluminium oxide with an open coat structure is ideal for general purpose sanding and stock removal.



 

High Performance Aluminium Oxide Paper

The tough and sharp aluminium oxide combined with a heavy paper backing makes this product extremely durable, long lasting, and ideal for either hand sanding or powertool use.



 

Finishing Paper

A silicon carbide abrasive featuring a unique and innovative stearate coating. This significantly improves performance and finish by reducing friction and clogging giving a gliding sanding action which results in a very consistent scratch-free surface.




 

Selecting the right product - non-paper products

 

Colour coding and specific application illustrations are used to differentiate between product types and to make product selection easier.

 

Emery Cloth Sheets

A high performance emery abrasive cloth for fast and aggressive removal of paint, rust and rough surfaces. The fast cutting emery is backed with a heavy twill cloth, which allows the sheet to be torn into strips, giving superb flexibility for working on contoured or flat surfaces.

 

Aluminium Oxide Fibre Discs

A tough and sharp aluminium oxide combined with a dense semi-rigid backing gives this product extremely long life. It is ideal for working on metal using an angle grinder.


Aluminium Oxide Cloth

A tough and sharp aluminium oxide combined with a cloth backing giving maximum strength and flexibility, making it ideal for aggressive sanding with belt sanders

 

Non-woven Abrasive

These products are designed for finishing applications where light stock removal is required. The unique qualities make them extremely flexible for working on contoured surfaces. The products can be used with water and also be washed and reused. Available in 1/3 sheet size and for use either by hand or orbital sanders.
Sanding Sponges

Designed for sanding contoured, flat and hard to reach areas, the double-sided dual grit abrasive sponges feature hard wearing aluminium oxide which makes them very durable and long lasting. The sponges are washable, therefore reusable - simply rinse in water to remove 'clogging'. Available in 3 types: standard, large, and double angled.
Sanding Block Kits

Sanding block kits contain an assortment of aluminium oxide sheets and a sanding block. The blocks are very comfortable to use and those featuring a hook and loop backing system allow for quick and easy sheet changing.
