But what are Ceramic abrasives and what benefits will they provide you?

Ceramic grain is the most technologically advanced abrasive grain today, and it is widely used in roughing and sanding extremely hard materials.This mineral is widely used in the manufacturing of abrasive discs and sanding belts across multiple industries.

Ceramic abrasives are ideal and widely used for handling hard-to-sand materials including aerospace, superalloys, stainless steel, aluminum alloys, and unalloyed steels. They perfectly suit the repair of automobiles, boats, fiberglass and different industrial finishes.

Velcro backed ceramic discs typically achieve 30 to 50% greater performance than conventional abrasive discs which becomes more evident in materials that have a higher hardness and difficulty to sand.

The main advantage of ceramic abrasives is that they facilitate very fast sanding thanks to their high cutting power, increase productivity and reduce labour costs due to their long-life allowing technicians to do more repairs in a working day. More repairs lead to more revenue and a greater use of invested equipment and spray booth time, allowing a faster return on investment.
