ARTIFEX abrasives comprise either silicon carbide or aluminous oxide abrasive grain, supported in a foamed polyurethane or rubber flexible matrix.
The bespoke combination of bonding and abrasive facilitate the desired surface finish.
For any particular requirement these elastic-bonded tools are available in soft, medium and hard densities, but always in a flexible bonding.
Advantages of ARTIFEX elastic-bonded grinding and polishing tools:
- Conform perfectly to the workpiece profile
- Surface blending only
- Non-clogging and free cutting
- Cool grinding in operation due to the open structure
- Flexible grinding effect helps to minimise any operator error
- Easily profiled with conventional tools
- ARTIFEX abrasives give constant surface finishes
- Roughness is reduced, material contact area is enlarged
- Surface finishes of well below 1 µm (micron) Rz achievable
