Aluminum Oxide, Y-weight, Open Coat, Resin Bond Polyester Backing
This belt uses tough aluminum oxide grain coated on a heavy "Y" weight polyester backing with a resin bond system. It is an open coat belt and its polyester backing permits users to wash their belts for additional savings.
Open Coat Abrasive Grain Coverage - Abrasive grains cover approximately 50% - 60% of the coated surface. Coat products generally offer greater flexibility, faster cutting, coarser finish and provide a greater resistance to loading. Open Coat products are used widely for woodworking applications, with limited applications for metal.
Resin Bond Backings - Resin bond backings offer greater resistance to heat , are more durable in heavy stock removal applications and provide the best all-around bond system.
