Stainless-Steel application solutions fill the gap

As a local manufacturer and supplier of specialised abrasives, we have been a partner to the StainlessSteel Industry since 1981.

Choosing the correct abrasives for stainless steel fabrication is key. Not only does the application require premium products that offer optimum results, but noncontamination of the material is critical.

We offer a complete abrasive range manufactured free from iron, sulphur, and chlorine that will not contaminate stainless-steel during application, or cause any impairments to the metal, such as corrosion, pitting corrosion, or a reduction of fatigue strength.

Our cutting range boasts both Conventional and Slimline cutting discs, each providing results dependent on required application and finish.

Slimline discs are available in diameters from 115mm up to 230mm. Reinforced for safety, they are particularly suited for applications on thin-walled metal sheets, profiles, and pipes, as well as reinforced steel, small stainless-steel crosssections, and corrosion-resistant or acid resistant stainless steel.

For maximum cutting ability and longevity, cutting discs for stationary cutting machines in chop cut applications are available in different specifications starting from 300mm in diameter.

When it comes to stock removal, Superflex grinding, and flap discs combine longevity with the best cutting ability through the perfect combination of Aluminium Oxide and Zirconium Aluminium Oxide grains.

Flap discs are versatile products that can be used for both stock removal, or finishing, - particularly useful where a smooth and seamless finish is required after a welding operation. The Superflex Premium Inox, specifically manufactured for stainless steels, exotic heat sensitive metals, and alloys ensure the ultimate surface finish. Manufactured from high-tech self-sharpening Ceramic grains, these flap discs offer both excellent stock removal and a cool grind.

For grinding applications on larger workpieces, where maximum stock removal is required, we offer various products within our precision grinding ANDOR range that include shaped resin-bonded and vitrified wheels suited to internal, surface, and external grinding applications. Where application requires precise stock removal with small work areas, tungsten carbide burrs and mounted points offer the perfect choice.

The latest addition to our range includes non-woven abrasives, suited for finishing and surface preparation applications. Manufactured from uniform distributed abrasive grains that are fused to a three-dimensional support of nylon fibres, a constant and consistent finish throughout the working process and product’s lifetime is achieved.

Applications with non-woven abrasives will not change or manipulate the geometry of the workpiece, as they conform perfectly to the workpiece.

Superflex buffing wheels and polishing compounds are specifically manufactured to rework this matt finish to a mirror finish.
