With their abrasive strips PS 19 EK Klingspor offers a rugged product that is sturdy enough to process with perfect efficiency materials that are exceedingly hard and, thus, difficult to machine. What is more, this abrasive is remarkably versatile as it can be used for sanding
The product is the perfect match for any job involving rough, intermediate and fine sanding as it is available in a wide range of different grit sizes.
The abrasive strips PS 19 EK come with a hook and loop fastener and are therefore used predominantly on handheld sanders and abrasive blocks with hook and loop lamination. They are equipped with a backing made of rugged paper, which is categorised as E-class paper based on its mass per unit area. Paper grouped in this category is of medium weight since the weight classes range from A to G. A perfect sanding result is guaranteed every time by the abrasive grain silicon carbide. The product of a synthetic manufacturing process, this grain is sure to never lose its outstanding qualities. Silicon carbide is exceptionally hard and sharp-edged. These qualities allow this grain to deliver excellent performance even on extra hard surfaces such as glass or stone. The results it achieves on hard wood are equally exquisite.
The close coating of the grain also plays a key role in the uniform scratch pattern of the abrasive PS 19 EK as it covers the paper backing almost completely with abrasive grain. This large number of grain points ensures a high removal rate while extending the service life of the abrasive at the same time. The same applies to the top size coat, which Klingspor always manufactures using a synthetic resin. Offering strong adhesive force, this coat keeps the abrasive securely in place with the resin base coat. In addition, it supports the silicon carbide against the forces that act on it from the side. These features make the abrasive strips PS 19 EK by Klingspor an effective tool - even on materials that are hard to machine.
