General information
3D flexible abrasives.
Three-dimensional flexible abrasives are made from nylon fibres with grain anchored in resin. They are suitable for manual use in sheets, rolls and floor pads. The reinforced version is ideal for more aggressive use cases and abrasive belts.
Tex
Nylon fibres with thermally hardened resin combined into a three-dimensional web structure. Abrasive grain is anchored in the synthetic resin.
The result is a springy abrasive with an open structure. This abrasive material (“Tex”) is easy to cut and has low mechanical resistance. It is often used for
manual applications
in the form of sheets and rolls. Tex does
not
interfere with the geometric shape of the workpiece at all.
Reinforced Tex
Reinforced Tex is an open nylon web permeated with abrasive grain anchored on a woven polyester structure.
The material is highly resistant to tears and cutting and ideally suited for use in endless abrasive belts.
Nylon floor pads
This nylon is made from a very tight web structure and is designed specially for cleaning and polishing floors.
It is used on discs in a special floor sander. The pads come in different colours, each signifying a specific aggressiveness – the darker, the more aggressive, with black being the coarsest grade and white the softest.
The Tex materials can be divided into
four
main categories.
- A = Tex with aluminium oxide grain
- S = Tex with silicon carbide grain
- CP = Tex with high-quality aluminium oxide and improved resin formula
- 00 = Tex with no grain
