Highlights
Ideal for intermediate finishing and fine polishing prior to plating or buffing
Pyramid-like abrasive structures minimize heat build-up that results from dull mineral gouging the substrate
Pyramid-like structures contain abrasive mineral that cuts cleanly through the substrate, producing finer finishes than conventional abrasives
Resin bond helps abrasive withstand heat
Semi-flexible backing for consistent finish over contours
Equipped with an X weight backing and proprietary 3M microreplication technology, the 3M Trizact Cloth Roll 237AA is specially designed for low to medium pressure applications — projects that would benefit from a semi-flexible abrasive with aluminum oxide mineral. Cloth Roll 237AA is commonly used on mild steel, stainless steel, nickel, cobalt alloys, aluminum, brass, copper and titanium.
The Difference Is in the Construction
3M Trizact Cloth Roll 237AA uses proprietary 3M microreplication technology, encapsulating micron-graded aluminum oxide mineral inside tiny pyramids. These pyramids are evenly and distributed over an X weight cloth backing. While conventionally coated abrasives often have erratically spaced mineral, Trizact abrasives focus on uniformity. As pyramids wear, fresh, sharp mineral is exposed to produce a consistent cut and a predictable, fine finish. Altogether, this means fewer scraps and discards as a consequence of inconsistent results. Ongoing sharp cutting action minimizes the need to incorporate other abrasives in the sequence, thereby reducing processing steps and enhancing productivity.
X-Weight Backing Balances Conformability and Durability
Cloth Roll 237AA also features a grinding aid that dissolves and breaks down during grinding and finishing, helping to prevent heat buildup, warping, delamination and discoloration. It's constructed on an X-weight, durable cloth backing which — because it is a heavier backing — helps provide more operator control and effective medium-pressure grinding. X-weight is considered a semi-flexible backing, so it strikes a balance between conformability and durability.
Great Versatility
3M Trizact Cloth Roll 237AA can be cut and shaped to meet your unique project needs. It's available in a range of grades A6 to A160, so operators can choose the right grade for their unique application; the lower the A-grade, the finer the grade. So, operators should select a smaller grade, like A6, for a fine finish and a larger grade, like A160, for a coarser finish. Regardless of the grade selected, operators can rely on great performance with 3M Trizact Cloth Roll 237AA, using it as a go-to abrasive it for fast cutting action and consistent finishes, part after part.
