Coated Abrasive Backings

Indafor premium abrasive backings are designed for maximum performance no matter how end-users work, wet or dry. These papers are reinforced with the highest levels of polymer saturant and custom additives to optimize customer application performance across all types of make-coat systems. This product line is extremely durable, with very high wet or dry delamination resistance levels. In addition, our backsize coatings enhance the functional performance of the finished coated abrasive to deliver added curl resistance, increased water resistance, improved grip during hand sanding applications, and enhanced strength for use with power sanding.

Indafor dry finishing abrasive backings provide the right balance of strength, flexibility, and tear resistance needed for tough jobs, including wood, automotive, marine, furniture, and metal sanding. Unlike many conventional kraft papers, Indafor dry finishing abrasive backings are latex-saturated and coated for excellent flexibility, durability, surface receptivity, and end-product performance. These finishing papers utilize barrier coatings designed for all types of make coatings to help improve grain adhesion and maintain full base flexibility. Our unique barrier coatings can also help improve the adhesion and resistance to penetration of non-glue-coat systems, such as the UF, PF, and epoxy-based systems used in dry-finishing applications.

Indafor’s Duraflat® Fibre Grinding disc backings are a wet-laid combination of synthetic fiber, cellulose fiber, and reinforcing saturants to form an ultra-durable substrate for the most aggressive grinding applications. Unlike traditional Vulcanized FIber, Indafor DuraFlat backings are designed not to curl, even with changes in humidity. This product is high in performance and easy to use. You’ll benefit from better dimensional stability, improved efficiencies, burst-free packaging, and flatter discs to enhance grinding execution.

As the name suggests, MultiTask products are super versatile and intended for customers wanting to upgrade from kraft or oil-bond papers without breaking the bank. They are designed for wet or dry sanding with flexibility and resistance to delamination. Available with and without reinforcing synthetic fibers, MultiTask backings have been designed to optimize for the specific performance attribute that you need, with excellent foldability and superior tear strength for uses that span everything from hand sanding sheets to power sanding discs and pads.
