| 20080216413 | ABRASIVE ARTICLE WITH SUPERSIZE COATING, AND METHODS - Abrasive articles, and methods of making abrasive articles that include a supersize coating or component, such as one configured to inhibit the collection of dust and/or swarf on the abrasive coating. The supersize component can be applied to the abrasive coating after converting the abrasive article with a laser or other conversion mechanism, whether non-contact or mechanical contact. In some embodiments, no fresh or exposed abrasive or backing surfaces exist; that is, the supersize component covers all surfaces. | 09-11-2008 |
| 20080216414 | LASER CUT ABRASIVE ARTICLE, AND METHODS - Abrasive articles, and methods of making abrasive articles by using a laser to convert (e.g., cut) at least a portion of the abrasive coating to form the abrasive article. The method includes laser propagation impinging on the abrasive back side (opposite the abrasive coating) and progressing through to the abrasive side. Such a process inhibits ridging effects around cut regions (e.g., openings) on the front side. | 09-11-2008 |
| 20080229672 | ABRASIVE ARTICLE AND METHOD OF MAKING AND USING THE SAME - An abrasive article comprises a porous abrasive member, a nonwoven filter medium, and a porous attachment fabric. A plurality of openings in the porous abrasive member cooperates with the nonwoven filter medium to allow the flow of particles from an outer abrasive surface of the porous abrasive member to the porous attachment fabric. Methods of making and using the abrasive articles are included. | 09-25-2008 |
| 20080233850 | ABRASIVE ARTICLE AND METHOD OF MAKING AND USING THE SAME - An abrasive article comprises a porous abrasive member, a nonwoven filter medium, a second nonwoven filter medium, and optionally a porous attachment layer. A plurality of openings in the porous abrasive member cooperates with the first nonwoven filter medium to allow the flow of particles from an outer abrasive surface of the porous abrasive member to the second nonwoven filter medium. Methods of making and using the abrasive articles are included. | 09-25-2008 |
| 20090017727 | STRUCTURED ABRASIVE WITH OVERLAYER, AND METHOD OF MAKING AND USING THE SAME - A structured abrasive article comprises a backing with a topographically structured abrasive layer secured thereto. The topographically structured abrasive layer comprises precisely-shaped abrasive composites. A solid overlayer comprising eroding particles with a Mohs scale hardness of at least 4 and a water-soluble polymer is disposed on at least a portion of the topographically structured abrasive layer. Methods of making and using the structured abrasive articles are also disclosed. | 01-15-2009 |
| 20090056548 | DUST COLLECTION DEVICE FOR SANDING TOOL - A dust collection device for a sanding tool comprising a bag having a sidewall and a coupler attached to the bag. The sidewall comprising a first filter layer, a second filter layer, and an outer support layer. The first filter layer comprising a plurality of fibrillated electrostatically charged electret fibers forming a nonwoven web; the first filter layer having a total pressure drop between about 0.1 to about 4.0 mm H | 03-05-2009 |
| 20100285728 | Dust Collection Device for Sanding Tool - A dust collection device for a sanding tool includes a bag having a sidewall with an inner surface and a coupler attacked to the bag. The sidewall comprises at least one filter layer and an outer support layer. A sleeve having an outer surface, a sleeve sidewall, a first end, a second end, and at least one gap at either the first end or the second end is positioned within the bag. The sleeve's first end is positioned adjacent the coupler to direct incoming air towards the sleeve and the sleeve is positioned within the bag such that a bypass volume is present between the outer surface and the inner surface. | 11-11-2010 |
| 20110065362 | STRUCTURED ABRASIVE ARTICLE AND METHOD OF USING THE SAME - A structured abrasive article includes a backing having a structured abrasive layer disposed on and secured thereto. The structured abrasive layer includes shaped abrasive composites that comprise abrasive particles and nonionic polyether surfactant dispersed in a crosslinked polymeric binder. The abrasive particles have a mean particle size of less than 10 micrometers. The nonionic polyether surfactant is not covalently bound to the crosslinked polymeric binder and is present in an amount of from 2.5 to 3.2 percent by weight based on a total weight of the shaped abrasive composites. The structured abrasive articles are useful for abrading a workpiece. | 03-17-2011 |
