Title: what are Abralon pads made of?
Post by: BrianCRX90 on July 31, 2006, 03:57:37 PM

Abralon...seems to be foreign to me. What's the difference between that and say sanding or wetsanding or scotch brite pads?

Direct from Mirka's Catalog (Manufacturer of Abralon)

Combines benefits of abrasive cloth and non-woven products.

Constructed with a fabric face, foam center and a grip backing.

Openings in the fabric allow water, solvent and air to flow freely around the abrasive.

Works especially well when sanding contoured surfaces, corners and sharp edges.

Open cell design holds large amounts of water or solvent for lubrication and cooling.

Foam center also provides for even surface pressure that helps eliminate "finger marks" when hand sanding
