General Information
2. Base coat
In the base coat step the grit in anchored. The basic bond is
the connection between the grit and the backing. It is primarily
formed using resin, this provides it with its consistent high
quality properties. Glue is only added to a few abrasive papers that
are used with hand operated machines and applications.
3. Grit
Grit is responsible for stock removal. When selecting the correct
girt two properties are particularly important:
‣ Bond
‣ Toughness
All Klingspor grit types are produced synthetically. This ensures a
consistently high quality product. Four different grit types are
used with coated abrasives:
Bond
SiC
Glass
Stone
Plastics
Varnishes
Aluminium
oxide
Steel
NF-metals
Wood
Zirconia
alumina
Stainless steel
Steel
Ceramic
