Description

A high-performance abrasive specially designed for high-alloy steel
Specially designed for high-alloy steel and other hard to grind metals, 2546 siabite jj consistently delivers maximum performance in applications from material removal to final sanding – thanks, among other things, to its high adaptability to contours, curves and profiles• Recommended for grinding mild steel and high-alloy steels
• Flexible JJ-weight cloth backing makes belts highly adaptable to contours, curves and profiles
• Active additives greatly reduce discolouration
• Additives also offer cooler grinding and reduce burning when grinding heat-sensitive metals
• High performance on hard to grind materials

Properties
• Grit type: Ceramic aluminium oxide
• Backing: Flexible JJ-Weight cloth
• Coating: Closed
• Bonding: Resin over resin
• Special coating: Cooling additive

• Cut: 9 – very high – siafast
• Lifetime: 10 – very long
• Finishing: 10 – good
• Flexibility: 9 – highly flexible
• Contact pressure: 6 – medium

Advantages
• High removal rate thanks to ceramic grit
• Active additives with a cooling effect greatly reduce discolouration
• Highly adaptable to contours, curves and profiles
• High performance on hard to grind material

Applications
• Removing discoloration
• Sanding down
• Surface treatment
• Deburring
• Smoothing and blending of flaws
• Structuring and final sanding

Substrates
• High alloy steels
• Other metals with hard to grind surfaces

Data Sheet for the Belt Calculator - Sia 2546 Siabite Flexible Ceramic Abrasive Sanding Belts



Why Use Ceramic?

Sia 2546 Siabite Flexible Ceramic Abrasive Sanding Belts have a ceramic grain, which lasts the longest of all coated abrasives, as well as being the fastest cutting. This is due to the micro-crystalline grain which self-sharpens and fractures more uniformly to give more consistent performance, and works well in medium to high pressure applications. Sia 2546 Siabite Flexible Ceramic Abrasive Sanding Belts are ideal for even the most demanding applications where productivity and fast stock removal are key.

Ceramic is in some cases supplied with a "topsize" (also known as "top coat", or "supersize layer".) This is a coating which is sprayed on to the grit to act as a coolant when working on heat-sensitive metals such as stainless steel and exotic alloys, and therefore reduce discoloration or burning. It can however also act as a lubricant to help reduce loading (where stock removed from the workpiece builds up on the abrasive and makes it less effective) on softer metals such as aluminium. The presence of a topsize does reduce the aggressiveness of the grain however, and so it is best not to have one if discoloration will not be an issue, for example when working on mild/carbon or structural steel.

Available in various forms including abrasive belts, velcro-backed discs, flap discs and fibre discs. Roloc discs, also known as speedlok, siafix, quick-release, and quick-change discs, are also very popular and often used for blending/removing welds and spot repair. Our Nitro Fast-Cut Ceramic Rolocs in particular are very aggressive and available as coarse as P24, therefore being useful for fast stock removal, while the Green Nitro and Red Nitro Ceramic Roloc Discs have a topsize and are ideal for reducing heat generation. For working on softer metals such as aluminium there is also the option of the unique White Nitro, which has a stearate coating to help reduce loading on the disc.
