Abrasive Aluminium Oxide Cloth Sheets – High-Performance, Industrial-Grade Abrasive Material
Starcke’s abrasive aluminium oxide cloth sheets are engineered for precision material removal and surface preparation in demanding industrial and professional applications. Utilizing premium, angular aluminium oxide abrasive grains adhered to a resilient cloth substrate, these sheets provide a consistent cut rate, superior durability, and extended service life.
The cloth backed abrasive sheet provides longer lasting abrasive power with greater flexibility than paper backed alternatives.
Technical Features of Abrasive Cloth Sheets:
-
Aluminium Oxide Abrasive Grain: The semi-friable, sharp-edged aluminium oxide particles ensure aggressive cutting action with self-sharpening properties, ideal for grinding, deburring, and finishing ferrous and non-ferrous metals, hardwoods, composites, and plastics.
-
Cloth Backing: Constructed from high-tensile strength cotton/polyester blend fabric, offering exceptional tear and wear resistance. The flexible backing enables contour adaptability and enhanced operator control during hand or machine sanding.
-
Electrostatic Coating: Precision electrostatic grain orientation maximizes abrasive exposure and optimizes dust extraction efficiency, improving sanding performance and surface finish.
-
Resin Bonding System: Robust resin bonds secure abrasive grains to backing, increasing sheet lifespan and resistance to loading, even under high-pressure applications.
-
Multi-Grit Range: Available in a wide grit spectrum from 40 grit to 600 grit to accommodate coarse stock removal, intermediate smoothing, and fine finishing processes.
-
Compatible Use: Suitable for manual hand finishing, sanding blocks, or even shaped for orbital sanders – adaptable across automotive refinishing, metal fabrication, woodworking, and industrial maintenance.

For Engineers
Abrasive paper is one of the most universal abrasives, it is popular in all workshops and tool rooms. Abrasive cloth is much harder wearing and flexible too making is especially useful for large scale work in steel and aluminium. Ideal for wrapping around a block.
For Jewellers
Not generally used for precious metals this emery cloth might be more suited to mixed media jewellery work where a coarser abrasive is necessary. We would normally advise using wet and dry paper for precious metals in particular.
