The Science behind high-quality finishes. SCOTCH-BRITE ™ NONWOVEN WEB TECHNOLOGY

ABRASIVE

FIBER

The nonwoven web technology from Scotch-Brite ™ is made with nylon that has been soaked in resin and abrasive mineral. The fibers and particles are bound together to form an open, three-dimensional structure. This construction provides spring-like action, which helps the product conform and bounce back without leaving an uneven finish. Whether hand pads, discs, wheels or belts, the material is consistent all the way through. This means new abrasive mineral is exposed while you work, helping to extend the life of your abrasive product so that you can keep producing consistent finishes.

RESIN

WORK SURFACE

With Scotch-Brite ™ nonwoven abrasives, grade is generally used to describe the finish attributes — the coarser the grade, the more aggressive cut and finish.

ALUMINUM OXIDE

SILICON CARBIDE

3M PRECISION- SHAPED GRAIN

Silicon Carbide is a synthetic mineral that is very sharp with a narrow shape, which wears down faster and is commonly used for low-pressure applications. Aluminum Oxide is exceedingly durable, providing long life as the mineral breaks down at a slower rate — commonly used for a wide range of applications. 3M Precision-Shaped Grain is a triangular-shaped ceramic grain that is designed with sharp, angular structures that continuously fracture to form new sharp cutting edges.
