Abrasive Paper Backing Undersides
Fun experiments to learn all about the FRONT & BACK of your
abrasive paper in the time it takes for a coffee break
The Front and Back of abrasive backing papers interact with the ingredients of your recipes and the constraints of your process during the key phases in the manufacturing of the abrasives, such as resin coating, laminating or reconditioning, to name but some of the steps.
Penetration… Adhesion… Shrinkage… Grit shedding…Brittleness… are just some of the issues that can be controlled if you have a good knowledge of your backing paper.
Coffee Breaks - 100% ORIGINAL
We've concocted two interactive, fun webinars to help you understand the ins and outs of the FRONT AND BACK of abrasive papers in the time it takes for a coffee break.
In this new coffee breaks season, we'll be putting the paper's structure and composition under the spotlight, and focusing particularly on the tests and methods involved in designing and manufacturing these papers.
A not-to-be-missed moment: our friendly experts will answer your questions live submitted via the Q&A tab (private messages possible).
