Surface Conditioning
Surface conditioning products provide a more compact structure of non-woven fibersfibres than Buff & Blend products. They have a woven fabric embedded in the nylon structure to provide additional strength and durability for edge work, deburring and efficient blending of all metal types.
Master surface conditioning products include belts and flap discs.
Belts
We manufacture surface conditioning abrasive belts on-site at our facility from sia and Standard Abrasives materials.
Constructed of resin-reinforced non-woven fiberfibre, these belts resist loading and avoid under-cutting or gouging of the workpiece. The special design exhibits high initial and extended rates of cut, while maintaining superior edge durability. All belts may be used for “low stretch” applications.
- Deburring: remove large and micro burrs; edge radiusing; removing die cast flashings
- Blending: mill marks, tool marks and mismatches; reduce uneven edges between adjoining surfaces; reorienting surface scratch patterns; creating a smooth transition from one surface profile to another
- Cleaning: remove coatings, gaskets and surface discolourations from welds or other work surfaces
- Finishing: condition grid lines; reduce surface roughness; polish welds prior to inspection; apply cosmetic grain finish

Discs
We provide surface conditioning discs in the MRD, plastic threaded screw-type mounting system, quick change format from stock and as MSD,metal-to-metal twist-lock discs mounting system, discs as made to order items. Discs are provided in 25,38,50 and 75mm diameters in coarse, medium and fine grades.
Flap Wheels
Master flap wheels are offered as well as in coated material, in surface conditioning material. Surface conditioning flap wheels vary in diameter from 30mm to 400mm and are offered as non-woven only, as well as non-woven interleaved with abrasive cloth material. Grades of non-woven flap wheels offered go from coarse all the way to very fine. Non-woven flap wheels are also offered with 19mm double keyways.
Discs
We provide Standard Abrasives surface conditioning discs in the quick change formats TS, TR and TP in various materials to suit different applications. These are also available with vacuum holes for use on tools equipped with dust extraction systems. Surface conditioning discs are also available with a hook & loop style attachment .
Flap Discs
The surface conditioning flap disc are best for deburring, edge breaking, blending, cleaning, finishing and polishing after grinding has been done with a resin fibre or flap disc on aluminium, steel and titanium. The overlapping flaps provide several layers of abrasives for increased durability and enhanced cut rate.
- Mounted on a firm phenolic plate produces cushioned effect for blending
- Type 29 shape with 6° taper increases stock removal
- Constructed for long life, flexibility, load-resistance and increased stock removal
