Plastic grinding wheels

Plastic grinding wheels are extremely versatile tools in surface technology that are used for grinding, polishing and deburring surfaces. They are made of different types of plastics, such as polyamide (nylon), polyurethane or polyester, and are available in various shapes and sizes to meet the requirements of different applications.

These abrasive wheels are often used in metalworking, plastics processing, woodworking, glass processing and other areas. They offer gentle processing of workpieces, especially delicate materials, without damaging or scratching them. A key advantage of plastic abrasive media is their flexibility and elasticity, which allow them to adapt to the contours and surface structures of the workpieces. This makes them ideal for processing complex shapes or hard-to-reach areas where rigid abrasives may have difficulties.

Plastic abrasives also have the advantage of generating less heat during the sanding process compared to abrasive abrasives such as metal or stone sanding discs. This helps to prevent the workpieces from overheating and reduces the risk of thermal deformation. In addition, plastic abrasive wheels are lighter than their metal counterparts, which makes them easier to handle and install in various processing machines. They also require less contact pressure to grind effectively, which reduces tool wear and stress on machinery.

Overall, plastic grinding wheels are versatile and effective tools in surface technology, enabling a wide range of machining tasks to be performed with high precision and quality. Their gentle processing, flexibility and low heat generation make them a preferred choice for many applications in various industries.
