3M™ Trizact™ Cloth Roll 327DC, A45 X-weight, 12 in x 50 yd, ASO, No Flex

Part of the CF abrasive family, the 3M™ Trizact™ Cloth Roll 327DC features a 3-dimensional matrix of resin and aluminum oxide mineral engineered to perform from day one until the end of the its life. In grades from A30 to A300 in convenient roll form, it is ideal for intermediate scratch refinement, dimensioning and finishing, and minor mill line and scale removal.

"Macroreplication" is the science behind the geometrical bricks-and-channels abrasive structure on this product. The abrasive bricks contain up to four times as much mineral as comparable products. As the mineral breaks down, fresh mineral is exposed at a uniform rate. Channels between the abrasive bricks reduce heat build-up and remove swarf. Its low pressure/easy breakdown profile means it resists loading when working with aluminum, zinc, brass and other softer metals.

Originally designed for intermediate finishing applications – removing casting scale and minor defects from orthopedic medical implant devices and cast or forged turbine blades –3M™ Trizact 327DC's more consistent cut and longer life in demanding applications make possible more efficient manufacturing processes and lower cost of operation in many metalworking applications.

3M™ Trizact 327DC cloth roll does not need to be broken in or worked harder at the end of its life. So it's easier to work with and its consistent performance reduces rework from out-of-spec finishes.

3M macro- and microreplication technologies allow them to design abrasives with varying shapes and formulations, to control the level of breakdown, cut, finish and life. The result is a comprehensive range of abrasives that shape, finish, and polish with ease and precision.

• 3M proprietary "bricks-and-channels" mineral structure engineered specifically to perform effectively on hard metals and exotic alloys
• "Bricks" contain multiple layers of mineral, "channels" keep parts cleaner
• Grinding aid and mineral structure work together to keep workpiece cool
• Higher, more consistent cut and finish on coarser applications may enable fewer process steps for greater productivity
• Long product life reduces abrasive cost and inventory
