Description
A sisal airway WR (woven and raised) buff is a type of abrasive tool used for buffing and polishing metal, wood, plastics, and other materials. It is made of tightly woven sisal fibers that are raised to form a three-dimensional pattern on the surface of the buff, providing additional cutting power and a more uniform finish.
Sisal is obtained from specific agave species in global cultivation areas. Similar to other natural fibers, sisal fibers are very resistant to physical and chemical stress. Sisal is also very tough, has high tensile strength and is also characterized by its high rigidity. This is why sisal is particularly suitable for pre-polishing metals and steel in particular.
Sisal cord buff wheels are commonly used in metalworking, automotive, and woodworking applications, among others. They are available in various diameters and thicknesses, and the density of the sisal fibers can vary, allowing for a range of surface finishes.
Sisal cord buff wheels are durable and long-lasting, and can be used for a variety of applications, from heavy material removal to fine finishing. However, they can be aggressive, so care should be taken when using them on softer materials to avoid damaging the surface.
