About non-woven abrasives
Abrasives are used in applications such as grinding, abrading, and cleaning of objects to give them the required shape and finish. They are broadly classified into bonded, coated, loose abrasive grains, superabrasives, non-woven, and others. Non-woven abrasives are manufactured when abrasive grains are fused with nylon fibers and are bonded together with the help of synthetic resins such as phenolic, epoxy, and others. These abrasives are made up of aluminium oxide, carbides, diamonds, and zirconia. Non-woven abrasives are used for commercial purposes, including polishing of surfaces, buffing, honing, and sanding. They are used in the aerospace, automotive, construction, cookware, and medical industries.
Technavio's analysts forecast the global non-woven abrasives market to grow at a CAGR of 3.67% over the period 2014-2019.
