Flap Discs Provide Higher Removal Rates, Safer Working Conditions



"CS Unitec's improved line of PLANTEX abrasive flap discs provide a 30% higher removal rate than standard discs," said a company spokesperson. "Available in grits from 40 up to 120 on discs from 4" to 7" diameter, the PLANTEX abrasive discs are suited for grinding steel, stainless steel and aluminum."

The PLANTEX abrasive fabric is a 100% enhanced pure zirconium mixture with cooling agents to reduce the temperature during grinding. Stacked grains on the zirconium cloth produce a higher metal removal rate.

The disc's self-trimming hemp backing plate automatically reduces in size during grinding, allowing 100% utilization of the abrasive fabric. PLANTEX can be used to the last millimeter. This versatile disc can easily be trimmed by cutting the backing for applications involving tight spaces or grinding weld seams in corners. Heat absorbent, spring-like properties of the hemp fiber substrate allow it to maintain its shape, providing quality grinding performance and service life. Safer working conditions result from the elimination of fiberglass, mineral fibers and epoxy resin. In addition, the flexible PLANTEX disc will not shatter.
