Abstract:
An abrasive is give a top coat layer consisting essentially of an inorganic, anti-loading agent selected from the group consisting of metal silicates, silicas, metal carbonates, and metal sulfates. The metal silicates can be selected from the group consisting of magnesium silicates, potassium aluminum silicates, aluminum silicates, and calcium silicates. In one embodiment, the magnesium silicates include talc, the potassium aluminum silicates include micas, the aluminum silicates include clays, and the calcium silicates include wollastonite. The silicas can be selected from the group consisting of fused silica, fumed silica, and precipitated amorphous silica. The metal carbonates can include calcium carbonate. The metal sulfates can include hydrous calcium sulfate or anhydrous calcium sulfate.
Abstract:
An electrostatic abrasive grain deposition process can be adapted to produce a patterned abrasive surface by controlling the local intensity of the field by which the grain (5) is projected on to a substrate (3).
Abstract:
A coated abrasive having an abrasive surface comprising a plurality of individual abrasive structures wherein the structures comprise a cured binder resin in an amount that is from 58 to 75 % by volume of the volume of binder plus solid particles dispersed within the binder.
Abstract:
An abrasive is oversized with a layer consisting essentially of an inorganic anti-loading agent selected from the group consisting of metal silicates, silicas, metal carbonates, and metal sulfates. The metal silicates can be selected from the group consisting of magnesium silicates, potassium aluminum silicates, aluminum silicates, and calcium silicates. In one embodiment, the magnesium silicates include talc, the potassium aluminum silicates include micas, the aluminum silicates include clays, and the calcium silicates include wollastonite. The silicas can be selected from the group consisting of fused silica, fumed silica, and precipitated amorphous silica. The metal carbonates can inlude calcium carbonate. The metal sulfates can inlcude hydrous calcium sulfate or anhydrous calcium sulfate.
