Material

Non-woven abrasive material comprises of a fine abrasive grit bonded with a highly elastic non-woven nylon sponge-like system. In general, aluminium oxide AlO (A002 – A007) and silicon carbide SiC (S004 – S009) are used. Also, we do use special finishing materials with an increased grit content.

Material Description Corresponding Grit
A002 coarse 80
A004/S004 medium 120
A006/S006 fine 180
A007/S007 very fine 280
S008 superfine 500 – 600
S009 ultrafine 800 – 1000

Application

EP-Finishing-products are used in dry and wet applications. The circumference speed should not exceed 15 m/sec in dry processing and 25 m/s in wet processing. These speeds should not be exceeded as this will lead to overheating and subsequent melting of the finish material. It is almost impossible to remove this melted nylon from a work piece.

An increased press on pressure of the finish products does not improve the grinding or brush effect, it only leads to an increased danger of heating and exceptional wear.

Hardness

density/hardness
3 soft, 5 medium, 7 hard, 9 very hard

Mounting

The inside diameter of the water resistant Hard Paper (HP) tube can be fitted with reusable aluminium reducing flanges or rubber adaptors or with a firmly bonded wooden core to achieve the required bore. Steel-clench-rings (type K1 and K2) are reduced with the help of centering discs. According to requirements rollers can be dynamically balanced.

Impregnation

EP Finishing products can be impregnated to increase their longevity and perfomance.

Type MG soft
Type S firm

Finishing materials are used on metals, plastics and wood.

Application

– decorative surfaces (i.e. sinks and household items, containers, stainless steel surfaces)
– deburring of flat surfaces in steel, stainless steel, non ferrous metals
– fine grinding and cleaning of steel and non ferrous coils
– printed circuit board processing and pressboard cleaning
– wood processing, grinding of large parts and profiles

B10_K_Mini

Type B10/K Mini

EP-Finishing-Buffs
Non-woven material 2 or 4 ply, mounted on a steel-clenchring. Can be mounted as single buff or in roller form with require width. Particulary flexible construction, adapts to contured work pieces.
– Ø 80 – 200 mm
– steel-clench-ring width 10 to 15 mm
– bore 19/6 mm hexagonal
24 mm hexagonal, 32 mm hexagonal
Applications:
satin surfaces, medals, cutlery production

B13_K

Type B13/K

EP-Finish-corrugated-Buff
Non-woven abrasive with 3 ply, held in a steel-clench-ring. The wave structure of the corrugated buff gives an increased longevity and first-class satin polish. This aggressive non-woven buff type can be used as a roller, due to interlock of single exact folded buffs, thus achieving a homogenous surface finish.
– Ø 300 – 430 mm
– width ca. 25 mm
Applications:
satin surfaces on flat and straight parts, i.e. pots, tubes, and metal sheeting

B10_K

Type B10/K

EP-Finishing-Buffs
Non-woven material 4 or 6 ply, mounted on a steel-clench-ring (type K1 or K2). Can be mounted as single buff or in roller form with required width. Particulary flexible construction, adapts to contured work pieces.
– Ø 200 – 600 mm
– steel-clench-ring width K1 appr. 18 mm K2 appr. 22 mm
Applications:
aluminium steel and non ferrous coil materials, synthetic materials, cleaning of welding joints
