New Technologies Enhance Ceramic Abrasive Life

WALTER Surface Technologies has launched three new technologies to further maximize life of its high-performance ceramic abrasives.

"Ceramic grains provide longer life, higher removal rates and improve comfort for operators," said Marc Brunet Gagné, Senior Product Manager, Abrasive Power Tools. "But, it takes more than just the grain to build a high-performance abrasive wheel. WALTER has gone beyond the grain with new exclusive technologies to ensure that the ceramic grain is optimized and performs at its best."

WALTER's exclusive SMART RESIN Technology, found in bonded abrasives such as the ZIP XX and the XCAVATOR XX, works to expose fresh ceramic grains at the optimal moment to achieve the most productive balance between sharpness and life in a metalworker's given application.

WALTER's exclusive V-STRONG Backing Technology, found in its ceramic sanding discs such as the XTRACUT and the COOLCUT XX, improves durability and toughness of the wheel due to stronger resistance of the cloth. "With 14% more vulcanized fiber in the cloth than competitors, WALTER ceramic sanding discs last longer, resulting is less wheel changeover," added Gagné.

Gagné continued, "Most flap discs are baked during the manufacturing process to bond the flaps to the backing. Unfortunately, this process can dry out the backing cloth of the flaps, reducing its performance. Now, due to WALTER's exclusive MAX LIFE cold curing glue, WALTER ensures the freshest abrasives possible on products such as the ENDURO-FLEX TURBO, to avoid micro-cracking and drying out, which improves consistency and can extend disc life by up to 25%."

WALTER's grain-enhancing technologies are now available on all its ceramic abrasive solutions. For more information or to request a demo, visit hubs.ly/Q02gMDmM0.
