Webb Abrasives Clog Resistant Technology
Recent advances in abrasive technology combine Clog Resistant Technology (CRT) by Webb Abrasives Inc. with the precision Swiss engineering of SIA and electrostatic placement of abrasive grains, reducing the amount of elbow grease needed by contractors.
by a precise combination of backing, grit, adhesives and coating. It uses a heat-resistant adhesive that prevents grit from sinking into the adhesive during friction. This flexible adhesive also allows the grit to sweep back and forth like a broom allowing an aggressive cut. A thin clear coat of polymer, applied to the grit, creates a thin barrier that further prevents clogging.
Electrostatic placement of the abrasive grains causes the grains to always land with the sharp side upward, means that every grain has an abrasive edge. Electrostatic coating also allows the grains to be spaced evenly.
Abrasives incorporating CRT and electrostatic coating also reportedly last 4 times longer than regular sanding pads. With normal abrasives the grit can come off the paper rather easily.
Webb Abrasives offers more than 2,000 SKUs, including sanding pads, sheets, discs and belts.
