Abrasive Belts
Narrow & Wide (Coated & Non-Woven)
Santek Abrasives offers a comprehensive range of Narrow and Wide belts made from the materials and grit sizes listed in the “Coated Abrasive Options” as well as “Non-Woven Surface Conditioning Options” below.
Belt grinding, lapping, linishing and polishing are abrasive machining processes used on metals, woods, plastics and other materials. A belt, coated in abrasive material, is run over the surface to be processed in order to remove material or produce the desired finish.
Safety
Coated abrasive belts perform best between 15m/s and 35m/s. Non-Woven Belts perform best between 10m/s and 20m/s.
- NB! Excess speed is dangerous and may result in joint failure, backing disintegration or ripping, grain shedding or overheating.
- NEVER USE COATED ABRASIVE BELTS AT SPEEDS IN EXCESS OF 40m/s!
- Only use materials recommended for wet grinding in water, coolant, or oil.
- Use in accordance with ANSI B7.1.
- Narrow belts are abrasive belts that are a maximum of 300mm wide.
- Wide belts are wider than 300mm.
- Segmented wide belts When the width of the belt exceeds the width of the material jumbo roll, a multi join process is used to join the belts.

Coated Abrasives Rolls Specification
Scalloped Edge Belts
Scalloped edge belts are made by cutting a zig-zag shape on the side of narrow belts that allows the belt to conform quickly and easily to intricate configurations. This is most effective for final polishing and finishing operations on metal where no belt edge shadows are permitted.
Graphite Coated Canvas & Friction Pads
Graphite Coated Canvas is used to reduce friction and improve belt sander performance by attaching a strip to the contact plate of your sander. Especially useful for reducing heat and friction on large stroke and wide belt sanders.
Abrasive Restorers
Abrasive Restorers are used to clean and unclog products made from coated abrasive.
Abrasive Grease Sticks
Abrasive Grease Sticks are made from a high melting point grease. It is coated onto an abrasive belt or disc. This prevents clogging, prolongs life, prevents grain ripping, keeps the work piece cool and provides a brighter finish.
Key-Loc Belts
Key-Loc Belts are used to finish and polish parts in a closed or hard to reach application. The Key-Loc design allows the user to open and close the join at will. Used in a ski type system on a rubber drum with the grain side of the material facing inward.
