3M™ Trizact™ Cloth 953FA is constructed with a proprietary ceramic grain bonded to an XF-weight cloth backing. It is ideal for dimensioning and blending in wet centerless or flat grinding applications on ferrous, stainless steel and nonferrous workpieces.
For Consistent, Predictable Dimension and Finish Commonly used for cylindrical and flat metal parts finished in multiple-step applications using coolant, 3M™ Trizact™ Cloth 953FA is available in grades from A160 to A6. Grades A10 and A6 employ an engineered aluminum oxide mineral and A300 is available on a stiffer YF-weight backing. This cloth also uses a resin bonding which is specially designed to resist thermal and chemical deterioration, which can occur during sanding. It delivers unprecedented results on a wide range of metals including titanium, zirconium and other alloys – for outstanding quality, throughput and cost savings. Waterproof XF-Weight Cloth Backing Although durable, this cloth's XF backing is less stiff than YF – striking a balance between durability and flexibility. These attributes make it a good match for flat or centerless finishing applications, which require a sturdy abrasive that is still sensitive to surface irregularities. The A300 grade abrasive features a stiffer YF-weight backing. Great for Stock Removal Ceramic blend products feature aluminum oxide blended with ceramic grain for a harder, longer-lasting abrasive. Perfect for stock removal, ceramic abrasives are engineered to fracture frequently and can handle intense heat and stress applications. Ceramic/aluminum oxide blend surpasses aluminum oxide abrasives in both cut-rate and durability Trizact™ for the Win Revolutionary 3M technologies deliver required geometry tolerances without sacrificing cut rates on hard-to-grind materials. Consistently and more easily achieve finishing specs part after part for automotive components; hydraulic components in the aerospace industry; rods, tubes and pipes in the nuclear energy industry and surgical components.
