The surface condition of any part or product, whether for appearance or functionality, is a vital factor in meeting today's exacting expectations and competitive standards. Manufacturers worldwide devote significant attention to deburring, finishing and polishing systems to produce the results customers demand. Today many have learned to rely on a new category - non-woven abrasives. The unique three-dimensional construction of non-woven abrasives provides functional characteristics and a diverse range of performance capabilities that provide distinct advantages over traditional coated abrasives in many applications. Marvel non-wovens are constructed from three basic components:

Fibre: By varying the dimension of the synthetic fibre, the firmness or flexibility of the material can be manipulated.

Abrasive Grit: The size of the abrasive grain will influence the aggressiveness of the cutting action.

Resin Binder: This agent acts to bond the fibre and abrasive grain together and ensures the structural integrity of the finished product.

The way these three components are combined creates a variety of versatile abrasive tools capable of producing a wide spectrum of surface conditions and finishes. The characteristics of non-woven material have made it the fastest growing abrasive product today.

Why Non-Woven?

Produce a consistent, uniform performance throughout the functional life of the product - possibility of removing desirable base stock material is reduced.

Flexible, allow the material to adapt and conform to contours and irregular surfaces.

Waterproof - Can be used wet or dry.

Non-metallic - Will not rust or contaminate in any way.

The open construction naturally resists loading and permits air circulation for cool operation and reduces the potential for burning or discoloring the work piece surface.
