Abrasive Belt Scotch-Brite SC With Film Backing

The Scotch-Brite SC Surface Conditioning Belt with film backing is intended for a wide range of applications and is particularly suitable for work on flat parts where close-to-surface sanding is required. The belt features a nylon backing with lower friction and stretch, reducing the risk of the belt yielding or stretching during use. The backing material can be used in applications where standard cloth-backed belts may stretch and come off the machine. The belts are available with different abrasive minerals, grit sizes and converted forms. Aluminium oxide is available in coarse (CRS), medium (MED) and very fine (VFN) grades, while silicon carbide is available in medium (MED), very fine (VFN) and super fine (SFN) grades. Aluminium oxide is a synthetic mineral known for sharp cutting action, durability and extended use. Silicon carbide breaks down faster than aluminium oxide and produces a finer finish. The belts are available in narrow, wide and standard sizes and are typically used on belt sanding machines. Narrow belts can be used for workpieces with narrow surfaces, recesses and details such as crankshaft or camshaft lobes, while wide belts are suitable for larger workpieces such as stamped parts, sheet metal components and moulds. The Scotch-Brite material consists of fibre strands, resin and abrasive mineral in an open web structure. The resilient fibres conform to contours and remove burrs and contaminants without altering the geometry of the workpiece. The open web structure allows particles to pass through the material, reducing abrasive loading. During use, the fibres break down and expose fresh abrasive mineral, contributing to consistent results across multiple workpieces.
