Alox (Aluminium Oxide) is the most common type of abrasive. It is an excellent starting point for most applications. It is the ideal solution when you want the ability to resist fracturing and medium aggressiveness. It is durable, with resistant cutting edges, showing continuous wear.
Compact Grain (Cmp) abrasive is a multi-layer solution of the same grain that wears away layer by layer, guaranteeing a long life and consistent finish. As one layer of abrasive grain wears away, another layer is exposed. The compact grain construction results in less loading, longer service life and a very consistent finish throughout its lifetime.

JJ and J cloths are light and flexible fabrics used when surface finishing and uniformity are more important than material removal. They are ideal for finishes where flexibility and conformity are essential, such as contour work, especially on curved surfaces. JJ and J cloths are usually made of cotton, but they are also available in a blend (polyester/cotton) when you want to give them more mechanical strength.
Stronger and relatively rigid compared to J cloth, X cloth is used in products designed for medium and coarse grains and material removal and finishing applications. It is one of the standard cloths used by all manufacturers.

The indicated grits are the most common for the operations in question, but they do not exhaust all available alternatives. We will be happy to help you find the best solution for your case.

The indicated diameters are the most common in the industry. OTA has many more dimensions available, as it produces formats tailored to the needs of its customers.

Disc holes is an important and often neglected topic. The best solution depends on several factors, namely: the disc diameter, the suction system and the holes in the disc pad. Therefore, there is a huge variety of standard solutions.

The backing of the abrasive in fabric (Vel) is the most common application in Europe and is designed to allow the use of discs or sheets on equipment or plates with a Velcro® type system to allow easy, quick and reusable fastening. The type of fabric is always adjusted to the abrasive in question and comes in a wide range of weights and strengths.
