As a local manufacturer and supplier of specialised abrasives, we have been partnering with the stainless steel industry since 1981.
With our product specialists and business development teams continually striving to provide solutions to application challenges and technology advancements, we bring premium abrasives to the industry.
Choosing the correct abrasive partner when it comes to cutting and grinding of stainless steel is key. Not only does application require premium products that offer optimum results, but non-contamination of the material is critical.
The Superflex range includes an extensive range of abrasives manufactured free from iron, sulphur and chlorine, to meet any abrasive need for stainless steel applications, whether it be cutting and grinding, or surface preparation and finishing.
Within the cutting range, we offer both conventional and Slimline cutting discs, each providing results dependent on required application and finish.
Slimline discs are available in diameters from 115 mm up to 230 mm, with a maximum thickness of 1.9 mm. Reinforced for safety, these discs are particularly suited for applications on thin-walled metal sheets, profiles, and pipes, as well as reinforced steel, small stainless steel cross-sections, and corrosion-resistant or acid resistant stainless steel.
For maximum cutting ability and longevity, cutting discs for stationary cutting machines in chop cut applications are available in different specifications starting from 300 mm diameter.
When it comes to stock removal, Superflex grinding and flap discs combine longevity with the best cutting ability through the perfect combination of Aluminum oxide and Zirconium Aluminum oxide grains. Available in various diameters, these products will suit applications on stainless steel without causing impairments to the metal, such as corrosion, pitting corrosion or a reduction of fatigue strength.
Flap discs are versatile products that can be used for both stock removal or finishing, and are particularly useful for welding applications where a smooth and seamless finish is required after the welding operation. The Superflex Premium Inox, specifically manufactured for stainless steel, exotic heat sensitive metals, and alloys ensure the ultimate surface finish. Manufactured from high-tech self-sharpening ceramic grains, these flap discs offer both excellent stock removal and a cool grind, with no contamination to the workpiece.
For grinding applications on larger workpieces, where maximum stock removal is required, we offer various products within our precision grinding ANDOR range. Specifically manufactured for stainless steel, different shaped resin-bonded and vitrified wheels suited to internal, surface and external grinding applications are available. Where application requires precise stock removal and work areas are small, tungsten carbide burrs and mounted points offer the perfect choice.
For finishing and surface preparation applications, the Superflex non-woven range is ideal. Manufactured from uniform distributed abrasive grains that are fused to a three-dimensional support of nylon fibres, a constant and consistent finish throughout the working process and product’s lifetime is achieved. Allowing for change or manipulation to the surface finish without changing the shape and geometry of the workpiece, applications with non-woven products, produces a matte finish. Superflex buffing wheels and polishing compounds are specifically manufactured to rework this matt finish to a mirror finish.
Apart from cutting and grinding solutions, our coated range include sanding belts, discs and sheets for handheld machines, pedestal or floor machines, stroke sanders and wide belt machines. For applications requiring a brushed finish, we recommend a finer grit, where our “Pearl” abrasive sanding discs and belts manufactured with a unique conglomerate grain, will ensure a consistent finish throughout the entire product’s life.
Not only do we offer a total abrasive basket solution to stainless-steel applications, but our range also includes abrasives for non-ferrous and other ferrous metals.
