Distributes Polishes and Compounds for a Glossy Finish Whether a motorcycle fender, a wood cabinet or a car door, operators across industries tend to desire similar results: workpieces that look polished and sleek. One of the most common ways to achieve shine is by using a sanding disc and applying compounds to these surfaces.
The nonwoven nylon fibers on the Scotch-Brite™ High Gloss Disc hold polishes and compounds and distribute them evenly as the surface is being worked. A small amount (3-10%) of talc is incorporated into the non-woven fibers of Scotch-Brite™ High Gloss Disc to enhance its polishing capability. As the fibers wear, fresh talc is exposed to provide a consistent finish throughout the life of the product. In woodworking, this material can be used with polish to create a high gloss finish in topcoat rubbing applications. Overall, it helps produce a high gloss surface on your workpiece.
The versatile disc has a standard disc attachment. Using proper accessories, like flanges and mandrels (sold separately), it may be attached to a disc sander. Users may opt to use a portable sander to help facilitate direct contact between the disc and workpiece. This disc is offered in a range of sizes, so users can select the right disc for their unique application.
The Many Benefits of Open Web Abrasives Nonwoven technology makes Scotch-Brite™ industrial abrasives unique. A combination of fiber strands, resin, and abrasive mineral forms a thick, open web. The spring-like nature of the fibers responds to contours and effectively removes unwanted burrs, soils, and contaminants while maintaining the geometry of the workpiece, which in turn reduces rework and boosts productivity. Gaps in the web allow swarf to escape, so debris does not clog the mineral. Fibers in the web continually break down with use to reveal fresh mineral for exceptional consistency, superior cut performance, and extremely long service life. Scotch-Brite products not only enhance productivity, but also increase operator safety by reducing the need for cleaning chemicals and pastes, and replacing wire brushes that can break off and cause injury. From aesthetic finishing to weld blending, deburring, and more, Scotch-Brite abrasives work fast and deliver consistent results, part after part.
