Abstract: Systems and methods including providing a fixed abrasive buff having a central hub and a plurality of fabric layers affixed to the central hub. An abrasive composition is dispersed throughout the fabric layers and includes a polymeric binder and a plurality of abrasive particles dispersed in the polymeric binder. The content of the abrasive particles at an outer edge of the plurality of fabric layers is higher than the content of the abrasive particles at an inner edge of the plurality of fabric layers.

Abstract: An abrasive article includes a backing having first and second major surfaces, an abrasive layer overlying the first major surface, and a polymeric layer overlying the second major surface. The polymeric layer includes an elastomeric material having a Shore a durometer of about 55 to about 95.

Abstract: A coated abrasive product includes a particulate material containing green, unfired abrasive aggregates having a generally spheroidal or toroidal shape, the aggregates formed from a composition comprising abrasive grit particles, a nanoparticle binder, a dual function material, and a cross-linking agent. These green unfired abrasive aggregates can also be used in free abrasive products and bonded abrasive products.

Abstract: An abrasive article includes a backing having a major surface, an adhesion promoting layer overlying the major surface of the backing, and a make layer directly contacting the adhesion promoting layer. The adhesion promoting layer has a thickness of at least about 10 microns and is formed of a polar thermoplastic material, a cross-linkable polymer, or blends thereof.

Abstract: A macro-porous abrasive article includes a spun lace substrate having a macro-porous structure and a coating. The coating is made of a resin binder and abrasive aggregates. The abrasive aggregates are formed from a composition of abrasive grit particles and a nanoparticle binder. The coating is at least partially embedded in the substrate. A method for making the macro-porous abrasive article includes combining abrasive aggregates of abrasive grit particles and a nanoparticle binder with a resin binder to form a slurry. The slurry is applied to a macro-porous support structure so that the slurry at least partially penetrates the substrate. The resin is then cured to bond the aggregate grains to the substrate.

Abstract: An abrasive article includes a backing including first and second major surfaces, an abrasive layer disposed over the first major surface, and a back coat layer disposed over the second major surface. The back coat layer includes a polymeric material and a fabric.

Abstract: Flexible, conformable, pressure sensitive adhesive film material has a plastic film and a compatible pressure sensitive adhesive layer on at least a first surface of the plastic film. The plastic film is formulated of plastic film polymers and optional additives. The plastic film polymers include, at least, thermoplastic ethylene/styrene interpolymer in major part, and a temperature modifier polymer, which increases the thermal resistance of the plastic film. The pressure sensitive adhesive layer is compatible with the plastic film, such as acrylic-based adhesive and shear-coated rubber-based adhesive. The PSA film material can be harness tape for use in wire harness constructions and can provide advantageously low fogging and good recyclability, along with performance characteristics suitable to stringent harness tape and other end-use applications. In certain embodiments, a plastic barrier layer is coextruded with the plastic film, and a surface of the plastic film opposite the adhesive layer.

Abstract: A gamma radiation sterilized membrane laminate is provided comprising a porous polytetrafluoroethylene membrane directly laminated to a porous polyester web substrate. The laminate is hydrophobic and has a burst strength when unsupported of at least 10 psi in both the forward and reverse direction of filtration after the laminate is exposed to radiation.
