46 / Coated Abrasives www.youtube.com/NortonAbrasivesEMEA INTRODUCTION TO BEARTEX NON-WOVEN PRODUCTS These advantages make BearTex products an excellent alternative to bristle brushes, set-up wheels, greaseless compounds, and steel wool. Operators quickly learn the techniques of using BearTex products to produce eye catching finishes. USED WET OR DRY, BEARTEX PRODUCTS OFFER THE FOLLOWING ADVANTAGES: • A predictably consistent, uniform finish • Minimum smearing and discolouration of the workpiece as heat is dissipated through the open mesh of the product • Increased productivity through savings in time • Ability to automate operations • Reduced operator training • Less maintenance required • Greater safety than other methods • Conformability to irregular surfaces BearTex consists of a backing in “non-woven” nylon fibres evenly impregnated with abrasive granules through the binding action of synthetic resins. This structure forms a “three-dimensional” abrasive material. Since this product was created as a finishing tool for operations where no material need be removed, it is particularly suitable for buffing-up purposes or to reduce the roughness of a surface: BearTex begins to act when other abrasive tools have terminated their work. In all those situations where a buffing, cleaning or finishing operation is required, the BearTex product is decidedly a must. • Aluminium • Chromium • Tantalum • Fibreglass • Brass • Stainless Steel • Ceramics • Wood • Copper • Zinc • Glass • Plywood • Nickel • Titanium • Plastic • Deburring • Blending • Defuzzing plywood • Decorative finishes • Cleaning • Polishing • Dulling laminates • Scrubbing • Highlighting • Imparting satin • Scouring • Deflashing plastics • Removing raised wood fibres BEARTEX PRODUCTS CAN BE USED ON A WIDE VARIETY OF SURFACES APPLICATIONS INCLUDE UNDERSTANDING THE NON-WOVEN CAP CODE SYSTEM COATED ABRASIVES RapidFinish Convolute S/C (Silicon Carbide) FINE C 4 4 15 MARKETING PRODUCT NAME MARKETING CAP CODE FAMILY TYPE OF MATERIAL GRAIN GRADE INTERNAL DIFFERENTIATION BearTex Flat Stock F 0 - No Grain 0 - No Grit Consecutive numbers used for internal differentiation Rapid Blend-Unified Unitised / Unified U 1 - A/O White 1 - Extra Coarse Rapid Strip Rapid Strip R 2 - A/O Brown 2 - Coarse Rapid Prep-Surface Conditioning SCM Surface Conditioning Material / Blending S 4 - S/C 3 - Med.
