Non-woven suface conditioning belts consist of aluminum oxide grain impregnated on fiber mesh.
The advantages of surface conditioning bets include;
- The evenly dispersed grain results in a smooth, uniform finish.
- The open structure prevents heat build up and product discoloration.
- Used for cleaning, finishing, and deburring applications.
- Resists loading and avoids undercutting or gouging of the workpiece.
Surface Conditioning Non Woven Nylon Belts 1-1/2" x 30" for Flex, Dynabrade, CS Unitec and Metabo Pipe Sander (sold in packs of 5 belts)($6.00 per belts).
- For grinding, cleaning and finishing
- For removing scratches andd creating a satin finish
- Fast cutting with excellent product life
Key Benefits
- Controlled Material Removal: Unlike aggressive grinding wheels and belts, surface conditioning belts remove surface imperfections, rust, or coatings without significantly altering the dimensions or geometry of the workpiece.
- Heat Dissipation & Loading Resistance: The open nylon web structure promotes airflow, which reduces heat buildup that can cause warping or discoloration. This design also resists "loading" (clogging from debris), extending the belts life.
- Conformability: The flexible nature of non-woven material allows the disc to conform to irregular, contoured, or rounded surfaces, reaching areas that rigid abrasives cannot without gouging or undercutting the base material.
- Process Efficiency: High-performance non-woven belts can often combine blending and finishing into a single step, reducing the total number of process stages required to achieve a professional finish.
- Consistent, Uniform Finish: Abrasive grains are distributed evenly throughout the entire web, so as the fibers wear away, new sharp minerals are continuously exposed. This ensures a uniform scratch pattern from the beginning to the end of the disc's life.
- Enhanced Safety: These belts typically generate less noise and vibration than traditional abrasives, reducing operator fatigue. Unlike wire wheels and discs, they also lack wire elements or disc that can break off and cause injury
