Abrasives are the materials used for cleaning, polishing, and grinding the surface. It helps in providing surface finish and appropriate shape to the material. Abrasives are composed of mineral like types which comprise of different shape and sizes. The abrasive materials are manufactured from of two types of materials, including natural abrasives and synthetic abrasives. The natural abrasives include diamond, garnet, corundum, pumice, and emery, whereas synthetic material comprise synthetic diamond, alumina, and silicon carbide. The abrasives material is deployed for cleaning purpose depending on the characteristics of an abrasive material and surface.
Bonded abrasives are adhered to a matrix through a binder. Abrasives are composed of rubber, resin or glass, clay, and the abrasives are attached to a backing material, including cloth, paper, polyester, metal or resin. These materials are used across multiple industries including metal fabrication, transportation, electronic equipment, and machinery. It is used for tumbling metal cleaning, media, grinding, tool sharpening, and cutting wheels along with high-end industrial application such as paint stripping, de-burring, and blast cleaning.
