When sanding with foam abrasives, the focus is not only on removing as much material as possible. It is vital to achieving an absolutely smooth and even result when preparing surfaces for subsequent painting or varnishing. If the goal is to achieve a perfect workpiece surface finish with low scratch depth, applying pressure in two dimensions when sanding (such as using conventional sandpaper) is not enough, for example when using paper-backed abrasives. Instead, pressure needs to be applied in three dimensions.
Force can be applied in three dimensions by using the foam as the carrier material in connection with a flexible binder resin. This allows the grit to dissipate the contact pressure along a Z-axis.
Features
- The abrasive grit does not cut into the material as deeply and breaks off less
- As such, less material is removed and no sanding through of the material occurs at the edges
- Instead, we achieve a homogeneous surface
- Perfect conformability to the workpiece, even in hard-to-reach areas, highly flexible
- No surface damage due to creasing
- Pressure is distributed uniformly
- Due to their conformability, foam abrasives are the ideal choice for areas that are difficult to access and have profiled surfaces
- Unlike conventional sandpaper, foam abrasives can be folded without creating permanent creases, which allows a consistent sanding pattern due to improved grain consistency without swirl marks.
- Low clogging, longer useful life
