General information
Antistatic technology.
All paper abrasive belts supplied by Cibo are perfected with our antistatic technology.
Smart abrasives
During the sanding process, the abrasive dust is
positively charged, while the machine, abrasive belt and workpiece are
negatively charged. This effect is particularly strong when working with materials like
wood,
polyester, or
paints
and
varnishes. Opposite charges attract, so the abrasive dust adheres strongly to the sanding machine and abrasive belt, and to the workpiece, and can be very hard to vacuum off. Antistatic production technology is the solution to this problem. When sandpaper has been manufactured using this smart technology, the abrasive dust does not become significantly electrically charged, and it is spectacularly easy to suction it off.
There are several advantages to this approach:
- The abrasive belt has a
longer lifespan. As it does not get clogged up so quickly, the grain retains its abrasive capacity better.
- A
finer finish
can be achieved.
- Lower maintenance and energy costs.
Safer, more comfortable working environment.
