Abralon creates a smooth sanding pattern on angled surfaces and edges, while minimizing the risk of pressure marks. Abralon is especially suitable for use in the automotive and marine industries. The flexible weave allows water and air to pass freely, making the product suitable for both dry and wet sanding, either by machine or hand. Abralon is also suitable for the finishing and pre-polishing of gelcoat, SMC, glass reinforced plastic (GRP), lacquers, etc.
Coarser grits are recommended for:
- surface preparation of composite body parts
- fine sanding of the body surfaces before primer and top lacquer
Finer grits are suitable for:
- smoothing of primers and bottom lacquers
- preparation of surfaces between blending
- sanding of pot marked surfaces
- preparation of the top coat before polishing
• Combines benefits of abrasive cloth and non-woven products.
• Constructed with a fabric face, foam center, and a grip backing.
• Abrasive grains are bonded evenly to the fabric face.
• Openings in the fabric allow water, solvent and air to flow freely around the abrasive.
• Works especially well when sanding contoured surfaces, corners and sharp edges.
• Open cell design holds large amounts of water or solvent for lubrication and cooling.
• Foam center also provides for even surface pressure that helps eliminate finger marks when hand sanding.
