These products are manufactured using a "web" of nylon fibers that are bonded together (not woven together-hence the name) with synthetic resins. The fibers are impregnated with abrasive grain, producing a cushioned, three-dimensional material that is pliable, comfortable to the workpiece, and long- lasting. Non-woven abrasives can be the ideal grinding products for deburring, cleaning, and imparting the desired finish to wide variety of materials. A basic understanding of how these products should be selected and used to their maximum benefit, can help the metalworking manufacturer achieve the desired surface finish.
