Types of Abrasives Offered by Saint-Gobain
  1. Sandpaper (Coated Abrasives): Sandpaper is perhaps the most familiar type of abrasive, consisting of abrasive particles bonded to a backing material such as paper or cloth. Widely used in woodworking, metalworking, and automotive refinishing, sandpaper is versatile and essential for tasks ranging from material removal to fine surface finishing.
  2. Cut-off and Grinding Wheels (Bonded Abrasives): These abrasive wheels are bonded together with various materials such as resin, ceramic, or vitrified bonds. Commonly used in cutting, grinding, and finishing applications across industries like manufacturing, construction, and fabrication, cut-off and grinding wheels are indispensable tools for professionals.
  3. Non-Woven Abrasives: Featuring a three-dimensional structure of synthetic fibers bonded together with resin and abrasive grains, non-woven abrasives are flexible and conformable. Ideal for applications such as deburring, blending, and surface preparation, non-woven abrasives offer versatility and efficiency in various tasks.
  4. Diamond Blades and Tools: Diamond abrasives utilize synthetic diamond crystals, the hardest known material, to deliver exceptional cutting and grinding performance. Extensively used in industries such as construction, masonry, and stone fabrication, diamond blades and tools are essential for cutting hard materials like concrete, granite, and ceramics with precision and ease.
  5. Superabrasives: Superabrasives, including materials like cubic boron nitride (CBN) and synthetic diamond, offer superior hardness and wear resistance compared to conventional abrasives. Exceling in high-precision grinding applications in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and tool manufacturing, superabrasives ensure unparalleled performance and durability.
