Coated, Non-Woven & Bonded Abrasives
Coated, non-woven, and bonded abrasives serve a broad range of industrial applications, from stock removal and surface blending to finishing and polishing.
Coated abrasives — commonly referred to as sandpaper — are formed by bonding abrasive grains to a flexible substrate such as paper, cloth, film, or vulcanized fiber. Non-woven abrasives differ in that the abrasive grit is anchored within a three-dimensional non-woven nylon fiber structure. Bonded abrasives are manufactured by consolidating abrasive grains into a solid form, such as depressed-centre grinding wheels and cut-off wheels.
Engineered for precise surface treatment, these products combine controlled cutting performance with excellent flexibility and conformability, making them widely used across industrial, automotive, and manufacturing environments for grinding, cleaning, deburring, surface conditioning, and finishing operations.
Product Range
The abrasive product range includes:
- Coated abrasives (abrasive paper, belts, discs)
- Non-woven abrasives
- Cutting, grinding, and cleaning discs
- Bonded and flexible abrasives
- Diamond tools
- Abrasive brushes and deburring products
- Carbide burrs and files
- Production abrasives
- Sandblasting equipment and accessories
- Pads, adapters, and related accessories
Non-Woven Abrasives – Structure & Performance
Non-woven abrasives are manufactured by saturating a three-dimensional nonwoven fiber structure with abrasive grains. This unique construction allows the abrasive to be used on both sides while maintaining consistent cutting performance throughout its service life.
Due to their high mineral content and open structure, non-woven abrasives provide excellent flexibility and conformability. This makes them ideal for producing uniform surface finishes without altering the workpiece's geometry.
Key Characteristics
- Even and controlled cutting action
- High flexibility and adaptability to surface contours
- Consistent performance over the entire product life
- Reduced risk of surface gouging or over-grinding
- Suitable for low cutting speeds and low contact pressure
Surface Finish Quality
Non-woven abrasives are particularly effective in achieving high-quality micro-scratch surface finishes. Their controlled abrasion makes them ideal for refining and finishing operations on a wide range of materials, including metals, plastics, coatings, and composites.
Applications
- Surface conditioning and finishing
- Deburring and edge blending
- Cleaning and light material removal
- Refining coated and painted surfaces
- Metal, plastic, and composite finishing
Available Variants
All coated and non-woven abrasive products are available in multiple grades, grit sizes, and grit ranges to meet specific application requirements and desired surface finishes.
Industrial Importance
Coated and non-woven abrasives play a critical role in modern manufacturing and finishing processes. Their ability to deliver consistent results with minimal material distortion makes them indispensable for precision finishing, surface preparation, and quality-driven production environments.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between coated, non-woven, and bonded abrasives?
Coated abrasives have abrasive grains bonded to a flexible backing such as paper or cloth. Non-woven abrasives feature grains embedded within a three-dimensional nylon fiber structure, offering greater flexibility and conformability. Bonded abrasives are solid-form tools, such as grinding wheels and cut-off discs, where grains are consolidated into a rigid substrate.
What materials can Englau Group abrasives be used on?
Our abrasives are suitable for a wide range of materials, including steel, stainless steel, aluminum, cast iron, titanium alloys, plastics, composites, coatings, and painted surfaces.
What grit sizes are available?
All coated and non-woven abrasive products are available in multiple grades and grit sizes to meet specific application requirements. Please contact us directly for a full product specification sheet.
Are your products certified to international standards?
Yes. All Englau Group abrasive products are manufactured in strict accordance with the German EN 12413 standard — one of the most stringent quality certifications in the global abrasives industry.
