Micro-Mesh® 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 carbide,

aluminum oxide or diamond crystals, a resilient inner cushioning

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 crys-

tals to recede when subjected 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 ex-

tremely uniform scratch pattern

over the entire work surface. The

crystals continue to cut effectively

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 re-

quest. 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 in-

clude cleaning and polishing sources, probes, filaments, and quadru-

pole rods. The finer meshes are ideal for cleaning and trimming

source slits. Beginning with the coarser grits of regular Micro-Mesh

(1500 - 2400) and successfully polishing with finer grits (3200 -

12000) we have produced mirror 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.

Micro-Mesh® available in four formats:

•

Regular Micro-Mesh

-

Silicon Carbide Crystal

Abrasive. Used for finishing plastics, acrylics, bakelite,

fiberglass, paints, polymers, wood, cultured marble,

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.
