  • Publication number: 20250001551
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a method of making an abrasive article. The method can include providing a combination of a mesh backing and a fastener. The mesh backing has a first side and a second side and the mesh backing has a fastener disposed on the second side and intertwined through the mesh backing therein. The combination comprises a raised portion on the first side having a first dimension. The method can include calendering the first side of the mesh backing to form a calendered mesh backing such that the raised portion results in a second dimension. The second dimension is less than the first dimension. The method can include depositing a curable make layer precursor on a major surface of the calendered mesh backing, deposing a plurality of abrasive particles onto the curable make layer precursor, and at least partially curing the curable make layer precursor.
