Segmentation


By Product Type



  1. Discs: Sanding pad discs are used for hard plating. The aggressive cutting easily blends starches from edger and drum sanders. The discs reduce dish out of springwood on strip and plank floors. The discs are usually used for final sanding to prevent dish out of softer grains. The discs are ideal for surface prep on wood and concrete for removal of various residues.

  2. Wheels: Sanding wheels are usually designed for medium grade grinding and finishing applications. This is a powerful and handy sanding tool, which quickly deburrs, and polishes finished metal surfaces, leaving them clean and ready to be worked on. The sanding wheels can be best used for applications such as home repair, home workshop and rough shaping smoothing among others.

  3. Rolls: Sanding rolls are generally used for larger jobs. Rolls are preferred for their ease of storing and carrying over pre-cut sheets. A pre-cut roll cover is cut to spec and is mechanically applied to a rubber drum. It is commonly used in the rental trade due to its lower cost as compared to belt sanders.

  4. Others: Other products comprises of sanding belts and sanding sheets for wood. Sanding belts are multiuse tools. They are commonly used for trimming to a scribed line (photo), sanding very rough surfaces, leveling surfaces (like a replacement board in a hardwood floor) and freehand rounding and shaping. Sanding sheets are used to sand / smooth wood surfaces although they can be used to sand / smooth materials such as plastics and metals as well.


By Backing Material Type



  1. VELCRO/Hook and Loop: Velcro/ hook and loop sanding disks usually have a fluffy back that enables them to be attached to Velcro surface of the sanders backing pad. These discs are also referred to as Velours Backed Sanding Discs. The advantage of the velcro disc is that it can be easily removed from the sander before it is worn out so that it can be reused later. The Velcro/ hook and loop sanding pads are mostly suitable for sanding paint, wood, metal, varnish, roughcast and composite materials.

  2. Pressure sensitive adhesives: Pressure sensitive adhesives are mostly found in the 125mm and 150mm dual action (d/a) sanders. The pressure sensitive adhesives are becoming less common as velcro sanding discs are cheaper and convenient. The disc has an adhesive coating applied to it, so that when it is pressed to the backing pad, it sticks in place. This adhesive is called Self Adhesive sanding discs.

  3. Others: Others include backing of sanding pads in different form such as standard and perforated/holes. The perforated backing material is to be used with sander.
