We tell you the advantages between the TSAR film disc and the paper disc so you can choose the most suitable one according to the sanding job to be carried out.

Composition of the TSAR abrasive disc

We start by explaining the composition of our abrasive disc. abrasive disc composition

At the base we find the support of the disc, which is the material where the mineral.You can find the paper or film backing.

Between the mineral and the support there is a layer of resin which provides a strong bond between these two materials.

A special coating of stearate which provides superior performance for a longer product life.

The mineral will have specific measurements and distribution according to the grain we need in our work of sanding.

Grains range from the thickest or coarsest (P-60 or P-80) used to remove thick layers of paint, to the finest grains (P-1500 or P-2000) used for final and finishing work , where uniform sanding is required to remove surface imperfections.
