Technical information

Backings

Cloth backings

  • Available in aramid, cotton, polyester or polycotton
  • The cloth is utilized as a backing for abrasives after in-house finishing has been completed, to adjust elongation and flexibility.
  • High tear strength
  • Depending on the application, cloth backings are available from extremely flexible (E-cloth) to extremely sturdy (Z-cloth)

Paper backings

  • Stretch-resistant
  • Lower weight compared to cloth
  • The lighter the paper, the more flexible the backing becomes
