Norton Metalite R228 Backstand Abrasive Belt, Cotton Backing, Aluminum Oxide,...
Product Overview
Norton Metalite R228 durable, cotton-backed belts are a good choice for
maintenance and repair operations where cutting action is more important that
backing conformability, for example when sanding burrs off a flat or mildly
curved surface. Coated abrasives have individual abrasive grains spaced at a
predetermined distance from one another. This is a closed-coat belt. A closed
coat covers 100 percent of the surface with abrasive grains, for more
stiffness and better surface finish than an equivalent open coat, where
abrasive grit covers 50 to 70 percent of the surface. The cloth backing is
stiffer, tougher, and thicker than a paper backing. Cloth resists tearing
while bending and flexing during use. This belt features a resin bond. Resin
bonds have good moisture resistance, are harder and less flexible than glue
bonds, and have good heat resistance and grain retention. Resin bonds are
useful for abrasive operations with high operating speeds, impact, and sudden
loading, as the resin bond is strong. Aluminum oxide is a widely used and
versatile abrasive material. It is a tough, fracture- and wear-resistant grit
that works well with a broad range of materials, from metals to wood. Aluminum
oxide is more durable than silicon carbide and often used for material removal
and finishing. Abrasives are used for a variety of applications from shaping a
part to fine finishing, depending on the grit size. Low grit numbers like 40
are coarse and are used for removing excess material and shaping a part. High
grit numbers like 400 are fine and help to create a smooth surface finish.

certification for quality and environmental management standards.
Features
Aluminum oxide is durable and the most common abrasive grain
Heavy cotton backing is resistant to heat, durable, and flexible, for use on contours or flat surfaces
Use this belt on a wide range of metalworking and maintenance and repair operations
Backstand belts are used with backstand belt grinders and sanders
A light-bodied grease applied to the belt surface will reduce loading when grinding soft nonferrous metals, such as aluminum and brass
