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.
C or D papers, medium and light respectively, are used when some flexibility and resistance are required. Stronger and less flexible than the A and B papers, this type of support is still chosen for manual work (dry or wet), allowing it to be used on many sanding machines, even with medium pressure.
The grits presented 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 dimensions indicated are merely illustrative and are common in the industry. OTA does not list them, as it uses an MTO system tailored to the needs of each client.
The self-adhesive solution with a double-sided film on the back of the abrasive (SK) is intended for specific applications that are very demanding in terms of adhesion or support. Adhesion and thermal resistance are important variables and OTA has several alternatives available. It is typically used in rolls, discs and sheets.
