Procedure:

• Prior to grinding the surface must always be thoroughly cleaned and degreased, to prevent “incorporation” of the contaminants into the surface and making them thereafter very difficult or impossible to remove.
• Manually with an abrasive block or using grinding machines
• Grain size from K 120 to 180 is best for adhesive bonding applications
• After grinding remove all grinding dust, etc. from the surface (e. g. using a disposable, white cloth soaked with cleaning agent)

Points to heed:

• Regularly change the abrasive paper
• Ensure the substrates are cleaned beforehand
• Ensure the surface has a uniform finish
• When grinding using machines, it must be ensured that there is no melting of the surface due to excessive grinding speeds.
• Remove all residues and dust from the surface after grinding
• Fibres must not be damaged
