  • Antiloading compositions and methods of selecting same
    Patent number: 8337574
    Abstract: An abrasive product is disclosed. The abrasive product includes a binder support substrate, a binder, an abrasive material affixed to the support substrate by the binder, and an antiloading composition on the surface of the abrasive product. The antiloading composition is a lauryl sulfate. The lauryl sulfate is the only organic antiloading compound included in the antiloading composition.

  • Antiloading compositions and methods of selecting same
    Publication number: 20090199487
    Abstract: An antiloading composition includes a first organic compound. The compound has a water contact angle criterion that is less than a water contact angle for zinc stearate. The first compound also satisfies at least one condition selected from the group consisting of a melting point Tmelt greater than about 40° C., a coefficient of friction F less than about 0.3, and an antiloading criterion P greater than about 0.3. Another embodiment includes a second organic compound, having a different water contact angle from that of the first organic compound. The composition has a particular water contact angle Wop that is determined, at least in part, by the independent Wog of each compound and the proportion of each compound in the composition. Also, an abrasive product includes the antiloading composition. A method of grinding a substrate is disclosed that includes employing effective amount of an antiloading composition. Further disclosed is a method of selecting an antiloading compound.
