Abrasive Industrial Applications
3M™ SMSD Industrial Products and Markets [click to enlarge]
3M offers a wide selection of microabrasives and superabrasives for industrial applications that require close-tolerence and precision finishes. Produce consistent, repeatable finishes faster on ceramics, metals, alloys, glass, composites, plastics .

Make a Selection
Acrylic Window Repair
Restore clarity to acrylic windows and enclosures quicker and easier than other repair methods. Remove scratches, pits and crazing from acrylic aircraft windows, zoo enclosures, display cases, and other transparent protective shields and screens.

Automotive Glass Seaming
Bevel the edges of cut glass faster with 3M™ Flexible Diamond Belts and Diamond Cloth Belts. These durable diamond belts provide rapid thru put and leave a uniform finish that increases edge strength.

Automotive Paint Defect Repair
3M's precision graded film backed abrasives quickly sand out nibs, sags, pinholes, and craters without wild scratching or undercutting. Effective on acrylic lacquers, enamel paints and primers. Significantly reduces time needed for final buff/polish.

Automotive Powertrain
Crankshaft and camshaft polishing operations require close tolerance, precision finishes. Microfinishing with 3M film-backed abrasives enables you to correct geometry, remove amorphous layers, and obtain fine finishes as low as 1 micro inch Ra.

Automotive Primer/Paint Sanding
3M film backed abrasives quickly level uneven surfaces and leave a precise, predictable finish for adhering automotive paints and clearcoats. Sanding can be done wet or dry.

Flat Lapping
Where extreme flatness is required, 3M's film backed, micron graded abrasives can generate the precise finish you need. Common applications include lapping of carbide tooling, gemstones, and ceramic valves and seals. A variety of minerals are available for use on almost any substrate.

Glass Defect Repair
Long lasting Trizact™ Film provides a cleaner, more consistent method for repairing scuffs, scratches and acid marks on TV/CRT screens, airplane windscreens, architectural glass, and more. Reduce rejects. Minimize disc change-over and slurry clean-up.

Glass Finishing
Restore a scratch free surface or level uneven glass. Long lasting 3M™ Trizact™ film belts leave a fine finish that polishes out easily. Effective alternative to cork belts.

Roll Grinding
A predictable alternative to grinding wheels, 3M™ Flexible Diamond Belts can quickly remove traverse marks and feed lines, generate a specific geometry and eliminate chatter on thermal sprayed, chilled iron, ceramic rolls, and other cylindrical parts.

Solid Surface Finishing
Generate superior finishes on your solid surface countertops in less time with fewer processing steps. 3M has abrasives and process recommendations for both wet and dry sanding operations.

Superfinishing
Produce predictable, precise finishes on cylindrical parts. 3M film-backed abrasives are continuously indexed against a rotating workpiece to create uniform finishes on chrome, aluminum, steel, ceramic, rubber and plastic.
