Non-woven Abrasive Fiber
Bonded abrasive web
Non-woven abrasive is a bonded web of fibers and abrasive grit, made into discs, wheels, flaps and blocks. It conforms to the surface and is used for blending, oxide removal, satin finishing and light deburring. It does not remove much stock and is not in our standard range as brush fill.
What is non-woven abrasive fiber?
A three-dimensional web of synthetic fibers with abrasive mineral bonded in resin throughout it. It comes in disc, wheel, flap or block forms, in grades from fine to coarse, and in densities from soft and conforming to firm.
Where is it used?
Surface blending, removing oxidation and light rust, satin finishing on stainless and aluminum, and light deburring, where an even, conforming contact is wanted.
How does it compare with abrasive nylon?
Non-woven conforms over a broad area and leaves an even satin finish, but it does not reach into narrow, deep bores or thread roots without a supported carrier. Abrasive nylon filament reaches into features and cuts edges more precisely.
What are its limits?
It is not for dimensional stock removal or narrow deep bores, and its heat limit depends on the web, resin, mineral and construction, so the product data are checked for sustained hot work.
How do you ask for it?
Non-woven abrasive is not in our standard range. Send the part, the finish you want and the machine, and we will tell you whether we can build it or recommend an abrasive nylon brush.
Questions buyers ask about Non-woven Abrasive Fiber
Non-woven abrasive or abrasive nylon brush?
Non-woven for an even satin finish over broad areas. Abrasive nylon for reaching into features and cutting edges precisely.
Do you make non-woven abrasive brushes?
Not as standard. Send the part and finish, and we will tell you whether we can build it or recommend abrasive nylon.
Can non-woven abrasive remove burrs?
Light burrs, yes. It is not for heavy burrs or stock removal; use abrasive nylon or wire for those.

Surface Finishing
In surface finishing the pattern the brush leaves is the product, so fill, grit, speed and direction belong in the specification.
