DURING THE PAST DECADE VARIOUS FORMS OF COATED ABRASIVES HAVE EMERGED THAT PROVIDE A THIRD DIMENSION TO THE MINERAL COATING. THIS THIRD DIMENSION IS ACHIEVED BY CLUSTERING MINERAL IN LARGER PARTICLES--THE LARGER CLUSTERED PARTICLES ARE THEN COATED LIKE A CONVENTIONAL MONO-LAYERED COATED ABRASIVE. THESE PRODUCTS CAN OFFER IMPROVED PERFORMANCE THROUGH LONG LIFE AT CONSISTENT CUT RATES AND FINISHES.
