Cushioned Abrasives
M
icro-Mesh is a cloth-backed abrasive that is engi-
neered to produce fine finishes on metals, coatings,
plastics, glass, quarts and woods. Unlike conventional
abrasives, Micro-Mesh is made with precision graded silicon car-
bide, aluminum oxide or diamond crystals, a resilient inner cush-
ioning layer and a flexible cloth backing. Micro-Mesh cushioned
abrasives are made in such a manner that the crystals are held in
a resilient latex matrix on a flexible cloth backing, which will allow
the crystals to recede when sub-
jected to contact pressure. These
features combine to provide
exceptionally uniform finishes.
What is unique about cush-
ioned abrasives is that they do
not give any random deep
scratches. Instead, they produce
an extremely uniform scratch pat-
tern over the entire work surface.
The crystals continue to cut effec-
tively until they eventually
become dull and lose their cutting
edge.
All formats of Micro-Mesh are
available in sheets, rolls, discs,
belts, Soft Touch Pads, specialty
kits files, and custom sizes on
request. Please visit our web site

Use Wet or Dry
Micro-Mesh may be used wet or dry and after you're done. it
can be washed out and used again.
Applications in our shop at SIS include cleaning and polishing
sources, probes, filaments, and quadrupole rods. The finer meshes
ar ideal for cleaning and trimming source slits. By beginning with
the coarser grits of regular Micro-Mesh (1500 - 2400) and success-
fully polishing with finer grits (3200 - 12000) we have produced mir-
ror finishes on MS direct probes. The finer grits, (Kit #MMK-3), are
ideal for cleaning mass spec sources. The new MXD diamond
coated Micro-Mesh is used to finish glass, quartz, and ceramic -
ideal when you need to shave down a ceramic insulator.

available in
4 formats:
-
Regular Micro-Mesh
- Silicon Carbide Crystal Abrasive
Used for finishing plastics, acrylics, bakelite, fiberglass,
paints, polymers, wood, cultured marble, some metals, and
more.
-
MX Micro-Mesh
- Silicon Carbide Abrasive with Thicker
Backing. Use these products for finishing stainless steel,
brass, copper, other metals, and hard wood. The backing of
the MX is less flexible than in the regular so you can achieve
a high gloss on metals.
-
AO Micro-Mesh
- Aluminum Oxide Abrasive
Use these products for finishing aluminum and for finishing
solid surface countertops such as Corian and Avonite,etc.
-
MXD Micro-Mesh
- Diamond Crystal Abrasive
use these products for finishing hard metal alloys, glass,
quartz, ceramics, natural granite, and natural marble.
