ABRASIVES
A Type Of Hard Material
What is Abrasive?
An abrasive is a type of very hard material and it can be used in many different ways at
home, in industry, and in technology.
Abrasives are used to finish or shape a work piece.
Rubbing the abrasive on the workpiece leads to part of the workpiece being worn away.
When finishing a material it is often thought of as a means to polish the material to gain a
smooth surface or even reflective surface; however some finishes require roughening as in
beaded, matte or satin finishes.
Abrasion Mechanism
Different kinds of abrasives are made for different jobs. Generally abrasives can be
classified into synthetic or natural.
Natural abrasives are minerals or rocks of great hardness, which are born in the earth’s
crust and are extracted and processed to manufacture abrasive tools. They are used to give
shape or finish to a piece, or other materials of lesser hardness, through friction or rubbing.
Synthetic abrasives, on the other hand, are the product of considerable processing of raw
materials or chemical precursors; they include silicon carbide, synthetic diamond, and
alumina (a synthetic form of corundum).
Abrasion Mechanism
Both synthetic and natural Abrasives can be found in a wide variety of shapes, they
are often coated or bonded abrasives including grinding wheels, blocks, discs, belts,
rods, loose grain and sheets.

01
Bonded
Abrasives
Bonded Abrasives are an abrasive
material contained within a matrix.
Bonded Abrasives are required to
be dressed after they are used. Visit
our Abrasives section to know more
about Bonded Abrasives.
02
Coated
Abrasives
Coated Abrasives are also minerals that
are used in the same way as bonded
abrasives. A coated abrasive is an abrasive
fixed on to a form of backing material like
paper, metal, rubber, resin, cloth and
polyester. Sandpaper is a best example of
coated abrasive. Visit our Abrasives
section to know more about Coated
Abrasives
03
Super
Abrasives
Super Abrasives are one of a group of
relatively expensive but effective
materials possessing superior hardness
and abrasion resistance. Super Abrasives
include cubic boron nitride (CBN) and
diamond. Super Abrasives have been
developed to meet the needs of modern
industry.
