Abrasive Minerals
The selection of the proper abrasive mineral is important to the productivity of coated abrasive applications. Although natural minerals were important historically, the demands for quality and productivity in manufacturing have required the extensive use of synthetic minerals that offer consistent coated abrasive characteristics. Each type abrasive grain has unique properties and selecting the best grains requires close attention to the type of work material being ground, the cost of the abrasive minerals and its performance under actual working conditions.
