Resins and fillers: Additional, important components for cutting and grinding discs are resins, (in liquid

Glass fibre is a reinforcing layer to ensure stability and increases the safety of the cut-off wheel.
The number and strength of the glass fibre layers is dependent upon disc type and application. The
higher the potential lateral load on a cut-off disc (it is greater during free cutting than during stationary
cutting). The more glass fibre that the cutting disc must contain, or the contained glass fibre must be
more stable. Particularly thin material is used for thin cutting discs (0.8 mm to 1.0 mm), to despite of the
thin discs, ensure that a large grit ratio is achived between the layers. Grinding wheels are constructed
with at least 2 glass fibre layers

The correct grinding pressure

An important requirement for a satisfactory cutting result is the
correct grinding pressure. A common mistake is to reduce the
grinding pressure to preserve the disc and extend the cutting life
of the wheel. If this is done, the material overheats (turns blue);
the cut-off wheel becomes clogged and “burns up”. This is why
the grinding pressure should always be set such that the cutting
time is as short as possible. This is particularly true for heat sensitive
material with large material cross sections.

Correct application/techniques for

cut-off
Pressure may only be placed on the cut-off wheel from a radial
direction. This is the only way to avoid wobbling, buckling and disc
breakage, especially when applying a high level of cutting pressure.
The workpiece that is to be cut-off should be properly affixed to the
workbench to ensure that the disc does not slide off to the side. In
addition, we recommend that the material is affixed as close to the
cutting site as possible to ensure that it does not vibrate, flutter or
slip to the side.

About the Product

Since their market launch, the Polymak abrasive Flap disc has
successfully taken the place of the grinding disc in many areas of
surface finishing.

The performance of the abrasive Flap disc, with its fan-shaped radial
arrangement of cloth grinding flaps, far exceeds that of other
abrasive products.

Polymak abrasive Flap discs are made of zirconia alumina, ceramic,

or aluminium oxide coated flaps fastened to glass fibre-reinforced or
plastic backing plates.

The even arrangement of the flaps guarantees high flexibility,

constant high grinding performance and low vibrations.

 Abrasive Flap discs
Applications guide

Product structure
The three abrasive flap disc components are
perfectly integrated to achieve maximum
performance.

Grinding flaps
Polymak has developed special coated abrasives for its
abrasive mop discs. The grinding tool is perfect for use with
applications.
This ensures top grinding performance
long service life.

Backing plate
Polymak uses two different backing plate types to produce
abrasive mop discs. The first one is the most popular on
the market made of glass fibre; the second one is made of
plastic.

Glue
The glue (adhesive) is the joint between the backing plate
and the grinding flaps. It ensures that the grinding flaps
cannot come off the backing plate if used properly. It also
ensures safety far above the guidelines of the ANSI directives
I2413

Form
The convex abrasive flap disc grinds a narrower surface than the flat abrasive flap disc. The more selective use of
the convex disc achieves a greater stock removal rate per time unit as compared to the flat flap disc. The convex
abrasive flap disc is particularly suited to working on edges and welded seams. The flat disc is primarily used for
flat and surface grinding.
