About the Englau Group
With over 20 years of expertise in the abrasives industry, Englau Group designs, manufactures, and exports a comprehensive range of high-performance abrasive solutions — including bonded cutting and grinding wheels, flap discs, and coated sanding belts. Our products serve the demanding requirements of metalworking, structural fabrication, automotive manufacturing, and detailed engineering, and are manufactured in strict accordance with the German EN 12413 standard — a globally recognized benchmark for abrasive tool safety and performance. Our application engineering team cooperates closely with customers to optimize formulations, select the most suitable specifications, and provide technical support that maximizes operating efficiency and tool life.
Englau Group also accepts OEM manufacturing orders, producing abrasive products under your brand. Fully customizable parameters — including grit size, bond type, wheel dimensions, abrasive material, backing type, hardness grade, wheel geometry, hole patterns, and color coding — ensure complete conformity with your product specifications and market requirements.
The following are the typical applications of abrasive:
- Buffing: A polishing and surface-smoothing process performed with an abrasive wheel or buffing compound. It effectively removes roughcasting, surface pits, and minor scratches from a wide range of metal substrates, producing a clean, refined finish.
- Honing: Honing is an abrasive machining process that produces a precise, sharp surface on metal components — such as knife blades and engine cylinders — by working an abrasive grinding stone or wheel against the workpiece.
- Drilling: Drilling is a material-removal process in which a rotating drill bit creates a circular cross-section hole in solid materials such as metal, wood, or composite substrates.
- Grinding: Grinding is an abrasive machining process in which a grinding wheel serves as the cutting tool. The wheel surface comprises thousands of abrasive cutting points, permitting precise material removal and consistent surface finishes.
- Polishing: A surface-finishing process that uses an abrasive wheel or bonded abrasive compound to smooth a workpiece. It usually involves abrasive grains adhered to a polishing wheel, progressively reducing surface roughness to achieve a high-quality finish.
- Cutting: In machining operations, cutting tools shear away excess material from a workpiece to achieve the required geometry and surface finish. A cutting disc or tool features a precisely crafted, sharp edge designed to remove material efficiently and accurately.
- Sharpening: Sharpening is the process of restoring or creating a keen cutting edge on a tool by working it against a fine abrasive surface. Abrasives used for sharpening are typically selected based on the tool material and the degree of edge refinement required.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between coated, non-woven, and bonded abrasives?
Coated abrasives have grains bonded to a flexible backing, such as paper or cloth. Non-woven abrasives embed grit within a three-dimensional nylon fiber structure for added flexibility and conformability. Bonded abrasives are solid tools, such as grinding wheels and cut-off discs, with grains consolidated into a rigid substrate.
What materials can Englau Group abrasives be used on?
Our full range of abrasive solutions is formulated for use on steel, stainless steel, aluminum, cast iron, titanium alloys, plastics, composites, coatings, and painted surfaces.
What grit sizes are available?
Our coated and nonwoven abrasive products are available in a wide range of grades and grit sizes to meet specific application requirements. Typical grit sizes offered include P36 to P1200 for coated abrasives and medium to ultra-fine grades for nonwoven materials, covering most common needs from heavy stock removal to fine finishing. For specialized applications or the full range of available sizes, please contact us for our complete 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. This standard governs safety and performance requirements for bonded abrasive tools, guaranteeing structural strength, operational safety, and uniform quality across our product range.
