POLINOX Wheel Silicon Carbide - Surface Conditioning PNL 4020/6 SiC 180 The non-woven abrasive flaps are arranged radially. A long tool life is achieved through the dense packing of the flaps. These tools are particularly used for surface work. Abrasive: SiC = Silicon carbide POLINOX mounted and unmounted grinding wheels are made out of non-woven nylon in which abrasive grit is embedded. The flexible open-cell structure of the non-woven material makes the tools very elastic and ensures cool grinding. Advantages: - Cool grinding and low thermal load on the workpiece - No clogging of the tool Application examples: - Producing matt and satin finishes on metals - Cleaning of oxidized non-ferrous metals - Seamless brush finishing of stainless steel (INOX) - Surface roughening of plastics in preparation for adhesive bonding - Surface adaptation of weld seams Recommendations for use: - POLINOX mounted and unmounted grinding wheels achieve their best performance at a recommended cutting speed of 10-20 m/s. This provides an ideal compromise between stock removal, surface quality, thermal load on the workpiece and tool wear. - Flexible shaft drives, electric and airpowered straight grinders can be used as tool drives. Safety notes: - The maximum permitted peripheral speed is 32 m/s - For safety reasons, it is imperative to remain within the stated maximum permitted rotational speed at all times
