Non-woven products

About the product

Thanks to its open, elastic structure, a non-woven abrasive web is capable of applying “so ” sanding to produce surfaces with a low scratch depth that are particularly fine. Fully and evenly interspersed with abrasive grain, a non-woven abrasive web can be used to produce a uniform and reproducible scratch pattern while also delivering a long service life.

Thanks to the great many beneficial properties of the material, the importance of non-woven products in the field of surface finishing is increasing steadily, especially for the work step of “finishing stainless steel surfaces".

Carrying an extensive variety of products with differences in fibre structure, grain, grit, bond and density, Klingspor offers the right abrasive tool for every processing step - from light deburring and stock removal to cleaning and creating satin finishes to the polishing of surfaces.

Types of non-woven material

When trying to find the product that is right for your application, you will want to factor in the properties of the non-woven material.

Non-woven material is divided into four different categories:

So non-woven material without fabric lining (clean and finish)

Non-woven material with fabric lining (Surface Conditioning

Material – SCM)

Highly compacted fleece (unitised and convolute)

Coarse cleaning fleece (clean and strip)

General benefits of non-woven materials

Wide range of applications for finishing

The products are available with various grains and densities

Exceptionally long service life

Continuous release of new abrasive grains

Even finish throughout the entire service life

No clogging thanks to open structure

Uniform scratch pattern

Abrasive grains are distributed evenly in the material structure

No excessive penetration into the workpiece surface

Perfect contouring to the workpiece

The structure of non-woven materials is exceedingly flexible Shape and geometry of the base material remain unchanged

Finishing processes, typical work steps

Light sanding and creating satin finishes

Light stock removal combined with an excellent finish. The right choice: Non-woven tools made of SCM non-woven material with fabric lining (e.g. belts, discs) or combinations with non-woven and coated abrasives (e.g. SMT 850).

Finishing and creating matt finishes

Blending scratch patterns, cleaning surfaces and creating a final finish; no stock removal. The right choice: Tools, o en including tools for off-hand sanding, made of so , flexible non-woven material.

Coarse cleaning

Removal of rust, scale and varnish as well as coatings in general and effortless removal of heat tinting. The right choice: Non-woven tools made of coarse cleaning fleece with an extra open structure, relatively strong non-woven fibres and coarse abrasive grain.

Removal of heat tinting and pre-polishing

Removal of hint tinting and/ or creation of surfaces with a low scratch depth that are particularly fine. The right choice: Tools made of highly compacted fleece. Depending on its density and degree of fineness, the non-woven material may even allow for light stock removal or light deburring.
