Coated Abrasives
3M^™ Trizact^™ Abrasive Belts
The unique microreplicated construction used in 3M^™ Trizact^™ Abrasives can deliver consistent, predictable finishes, higher, more even
rates of cut, cooler grinding and finishing temperatures, and reduced processing steps. 3M invented microreplication technology, which
is the science of creating small, precisely shaped three-dimensional structures and then reproducing them on a variety of surfaces.
Trizact Abrasive Grading System
The unique construction of Trizact abrasives requires a different
grading system. Grade is defined by the average particle size in
microns and begins with an “A”.

The Difference is in the Construction
Trizact abrasives allow you to say “goodbye” to erratic, inconsistent
finishes generated by conventional coated abrasives. Here’s why:
Three-dimensional structures uniformly distributed over the
entire surface of 3M^™ Trizact^™ Abrasives (left) ensure consistent
performance and eliminate belt-to-belt variation. Conventional
abrasives (right), which feature randomly arranged minerals, 
wear and finish unevenly.
Conventional abrasives start out sharp, but they dull quickly.
3M^™ Trizact^™ Abrasives have three-dimensional structures
containing multiple layers of abrasive mineral. As these 
pyramid-like structures wear, fresh, sharp mineral is exposed.
ATTENTION: Belts are available in other grades and sizes.
