Fabrics for Abrasive Products

Fabrics for the Abrasive Products Industry

Some fabrics get cut and sewn. These get spun at high speed and pressed against metal.

Abrasive products are not our area of expertise. We don't make the wheels. We don't mix the compounds. We supply the fabric. You make the wheels. We're fine with that division of labor. Cotton sheeting. Print cloth. Flannels. Fabrics that get coated, stiffened, and turned into buffing wheels, polishing discs, and sanding belts. Things that grind, smooth, and shine.

The constructions we typically supply are below. If you need a specific stiffness, finish, or coating, ask. We can usually get it. If not, we'll point you in the right direction.

End Products

Metal polishing wheels. Woodworking buffs. Jewel polishing discs. Shoe polish applicators. Dental buffs. Anything that spins, shines, or smooths. If your product removes material or adds a finish, there's probably fabric inside it. There's a good chance it came from us.

The blue roll of fabric you see in the first picture above was produced using a 100% Cotton China Twill - it has a very stiff finish (if handled casually, it will cut your finger). Customer was adamant about the stiffness & in this blue shade. We did not ask further questions. We just delivered what he wanted. Don't see your fabric? Call us. We've been supplying this industry for years. We probably have what you need.
