Zirconia alumina, aluminium oxide, fused aluminium oxide – which grain to choose for my abrasive paper
MioTools offers you abrasive paper of different grain types, optimized for the demands of your individual sanding projects. Our grain types principally vary in robustness and toughness.
Aluminium oxide
- Very tough and robust
- All-purpose abrasive
- Recommended for: treating wood (from general abrasion to finishing), sanding paint, varnish or spattling compound
- Semi-friable aluminium oxide
- Tougher than fused aluminium oxide, very robust
- For sanding very robust and solid material
- Recommended for: sanding hard lacquers, paint, acrylic glass and composite material, but also for treating wood
Fused aluminium oxide
- A high percentage of aluminium oxide makes it especially hard and rough
- Excellent abrasive performance and long service life
- Recommended for: all-purpose abrasive Used with the MENZER Ultranet®, where it helps guarantee a next to dust free work process
Zirconia alumina
- Mixture of aluminium oxide and zirconium oxide
- Very robust and exceptionally tough
- Advantages: high abrasive rate, long service life, does not wear out as quickly
- Recommended for: treating hard wood
Silicon carbide
- Less tough, but extremely robust and exceptionally sharp edged
- Recommended for: treating hard and tough material, e.g. mineral material
Ceramic
- High abrasive rate and elevated life span due to self sharpening capacities
- Aggressive sanding properties
- Recommended for: Treating extensive surfaces of hard wood floors
Coarse, medium or fine – where to best apply different types of abrasives
The unit for measuring the gradation of abrasives is called "Mesh": The smaller the number, the coarser the gradation and abrasion rate. Different areas of application ensue
Coarse gradation: 6 – 30
- Recommended for: Sanding wallpaper residue with drywall sanders, rectifying of uneven surfaces, e.g. scratched parquet
Medium gradation: 36 – 80
- Recommended for: Refining a surface, preparing further work steps, e.g. varnishing
Fine gradation: 100 – 180
- Recommended for: sanding wood or preparing surfaces for waxing or oiling procedures
Very fine gradation: 220 and more
- Recommended for: polishing coated, varnished or moiréed surfaces
