Abrasive Materials We Manufacture

Not sure which grain fits a job? Here is a quick primer on the four abrasive materials we cut, splice and finish - and what your customers reach for with each one.

Aluminum Oxide Cloth

Aluminum oxide is the most popular and versatile abrasive grain, offering an excellent balance of cut, durability and value. It is a hard, blocky mineral that fractures gradually to keep exposing fresh cutting edges, giving it a long, consistent service life. On a flexible cloth backing it holds up to sanding belts for woodworking, metal finishing and general-purpose sanding. It is the everyday workhorse for customers who want dependable performance across a wide range of jobs.

Zirconia

Zirconia alumina is a tough, self-sharpening grain built for aggressive stock removal on metal and hardwood. Under grinding pressure the grain keeps fracturing to reveal new sharp edges, so it cuts fast and runs cooler and longer than aluminum oxide. That makes zirconia belts a favorite for heavy grinding, deburring and weld blending, especially on steel and stainless. It is the step up in cut rate and belt life for shops working harder materials or higher-volume production.

Ceramic

Ceramic is the highest-performing coated abrasive grain, engineered with a micro-crystalline structure that self-sharpens at a microscopic level. Used with firm pressure it delivers the fastest cut rate and the longest life of any grain, while running cool to protect the workpiece. Ceramic excels on hard-to-grind metals like stainless steel, titanium and exotic alloys. It is the premium choice for demanding metalworking and high-production shops where speed and belt life justify the cost.

Silicon Carbide

Silicon carbide is the sharpest and hardest of the common abrasive grains, with a friable, needle-like crystal that slices through material rather than plowing it. Because it is razor-sharp but more brittle, it shines in finishing and low-pressure work rather than heavy grinding. It is the go-to grain for glass, stone, marble, composites, plastics, painted surfaces and wet sanding, plus finishing on softer metals. Dealers stock silicon carbide for customers in glass fabrication, automotive refinishing and fine woodworking.

Dealer & Distributor FAQ

Do you offer wholesale or dealer pricing?

Yes. Approved dealers and distributors receive wholesale, volume-based pricing across our full abrasives line. Apply using the form above and our sales manager will send you a dealer price list.

Do you private label or white label your abrasives?

We do. Through our Renegade private-label program you can sell sanding belts, discs and rolls under your own brand, with custom labeling and packaging options.

What is the minimum order to become a dealer?

Minimums are low and depend on the products you want to carry. We work with everyone from single-location shops to multi-location distributors - reach out and we will tailor a program to your volume.

What abrasive products can I carry as a dealer?

Our catalog includes custom and standard sanding belts, sanding discs (PSA and hook & loop), drum sander rolls, flap discs, cut-off wheels and more - in aluminum oxide, zirconia, ceramic and silicon carbide.

Where are your abrasives manufactured?

We convert and finish our abrasives in-house at our Southern California facility, cutting and splicing belts and applying backings to discs on-site for quality control and fast turnaround.

How fast can you fulfill dealer orders?

Custom sanding belts and discs are typically produced in about 3 working days, and we keep ready-to-cut rolls on hand to keep lead times short. Stock items ship faster.

How is sandpaper made?

Coated abrasives are made by bonding abrasive grain to a cloth or paper backing with a resin coating using an electrostatic process, then curing and converting the material into sanding belts and discs. We convert aluminum oxide, zirconia, ceramic and silicon carbide into finished abrasives in-house.
