Scotch-Brite™ Surface Conditioning Low Stretch Belt, SC-BL, A/O Medium, 64 in x 85 in, Segmented

The Scotch-Brite Surface Conditioning Low Stretch Belt is specifically designed to handle cleaning, finishing, and light deburring tasks. Its unique combination of durability and flexibility makes it an excellent choice for various applications. While it performs exceptionally well on steel and stainless steel, carbon, titanium, and nickel alloys, it can also be used on other metals such as aluminum, copper, brass, and soft, non-ferrous metals. With a wide range of variations available, operators can easily find the perfect belt for their specific project.

The Scotch-Brite Surface Conditioning Low Stretch Belt is engineered using high-quality aluminum oxide and silicon carbide minerals. These minerals are available in different combinations, including aluminum oxide medium (A MED), aluminum oxide very fine (A VFN), aluminum oxide coarse (A CRS), silicon carbide medium (S MED), silicon carbide super fine (S SFN), and silicon carbide very fine (S VFN).

When it comes to choosing between aluminum oxide and silicon carbide, it's important to consider the desired outcome. Aluminum oxide is known for its longer-lasting durability and softer cutting action, making it ideal for projects where a soft scratch is desired. On the other hand, silicon carbide offers a coarser and more aggressive cut, making it suitable for projects that require a rougher finish.

Depending on the desired finish, operators can select from different grades of belts. Fine grades are perfect for achieving finer finishes, while medium or coarse grades are more suitable for coarser finishes. The Scotch-Brite Surface Conditioning Low Stretch Belt is specifically designed for "low stretch" applications, where a standard scrim belt may stretch on the machine or when less conformability is desired. This belt is resistant to wear and sharp edges, making it a valuable tool in various industries, including transportation and metal fabrication.

Operators can choose from different types of belts, including file, narrow, portable, pump sleeve, and wide & flat finishing belts. The choice of belt type depends on factors such as the tools being used, the surface area of the workpiece, and its contours and dimensions. For example, narrow belts are commonly used in benchstand and backstand applications, while pump sleeves are specifically designed to fit around expander wheels and are used for finishing large equipment that cannot be easily moved.

What sets Scotch-Brite industrial abrasives apart is their unique nonwoven technology. These abrasives are made up of a combination of fiber strands, resin, and abrasive minerals, forming a thick, open web structure. The spring-like nature of the fibers allows them to respond to contours effectively, removing unwanted burrs, soils, and contaminants while maintaining the geometry of the workpiece. This, in turn, reduces the need for rework and increases productivity.

The gaps in the web structure allow swarf (metal shavings) to escape, preventing debris from clogging the abrasive mineral. Additionally, the fibers in the web continually break down with use, revealing fresh mineral for consistent and superior cut performance. This results in exceptional consistency, superior cut performance, and an extremely long service life. Scotch-Brite abrasives are known for their ability to enhance productivity and deliver consistent results, whether it's for aesthetic finishing, weld blending, deburring, and more.

Overall, Scotch-Brite Surface Conditioning Belts are the go-to choice for operators when it comes to cleaning, finishing, blending, and deburring tasks. The combination of non-woven material and abrasive grain makes these belts perfect for achieving a great finish or removing burrs while maintaining the geometry of the workpiece. Trust Scotch-Brite Belts to deliver fantastic finishes and consistently high-quality results, part after part.
