Albany, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/19/2018 -- Abrasive products used for the finishing of metallic and non-metallic work-pieces are typically categorized into bonded and coated abrasives. However, there also exists a third category called non-woven abrasives that provides final finish to the surface. Non-woven abrasives are also known as three-dimensional abrasives. Under non-woven abrasives, abrasives grains are bonded to flexible nylon fibers with synthetic resins such as phenolic and epoxy in order to provide consistent and controlled finish. Synthetic resins such as phenolic and epoxies are petrochemical derivatives. The prices of these resins depend upon the crude oil prices. Hence, fluctuation in crude oil prices significantly affects the resin prices. This, in turn, affects the prices of non-woven abrasives. However, increase in application of non-woven abrasives in the transportation industry is likely to drive the market in the near future. These fibers are impregnated with abrasive grain, producing a durable, cushioned, three-dimensional material that is pliable and conformable to the work-piece. Non-woven abrasives are widely used for performing operations such as deburring and cleaning to provide desired finish on a various surfaces.
