Flap Disc Application Fields & Top Suppliers

Flap disc consists of many pieces of abrasive cloth adhering to one coaster in the form of one pinned by another.

Substrate of abrasive cloth can be made from diversified materials, such as net cloth, nylon, plastic, and vulcanized fiber. Abrasive grains used in flap discs usually include fused alumina, zirconium alumina and silicon carbide. The grit size ranges from 36# to 600#, among which 60# and 80# are the most commonly used.
