Nonwoven Abrasives 13

Nonwoven Characteristics
All SHUR-BRITE® Nonwoven Abrasives consistently feature three components
- nylon fibers, abrasive grains and resin . Each component is equally important
and cannot perform a proper task without the others . The key to SHUR-BRITE®
Nonwoven Abrasives are the nylon fibers, which give products their dimensional,
open structure, and control the conformability .

The synthetic fiber structure, or fleece, is impregnated with abrasive grains and
resins . The grains attach to the fiber, and the resin bonds these components to-
gether, leaving open areas throughout the nonwoven structure . Synthetic nylon
fibers are the cushioning foundation which carry the grain media providing the
cutting action .

Components of Nonwoven Abrasives

Nylon Fiber • Structural foundation of nonwoven abrasives
• Synthetic, waterproof and chemical resistant
• Controls loft and cushion of product

Abrasive Grains • Responsible for cutting action, as with coated abrasives
• Uniformly distributed throughout material
• Aluminum Oxide (A/O) is more durable and lasts longer
• Silicon Carbide (S/C) is sharper, resulting in a finer cut

Resin • Strongly bonds all components together
• Flexible adhesive
• Waterproof and resistant to chemicals
• Controls material density
