Bear-Tex Features Benefits
New Clean Bond resin technology
• Smear-free, even on high nickel content alloys
• Will not load on aluminum and soft metals as competitive products can
Proprietary new coating method
• Robust layer of grain throughout the product that extends life; grain does not sit on top of fibers as competitive products can
• Consistent and uniform surface finish
Extended form holding and edge fray resistance
• Lowest total cost of consumable tooling per work piece
• Less part changeover due to superior product life
Improved hook and loop backing on discs
• Improved attachment on sanders for safer use
• Discs sit flatter on back-up pads, resulting in a more consistent finish on DA applications
