43275 - Pferd Polivlies Non-Woven Flap Disc 4.5 Inch 240 Grit Aluminum Finish

Precision Surface Finishing for Aluminum

The Pferd 43275 Polivlies Flap Disc represents a specialized solution for industrial surface conditioning, specifically engineered for working with aluminum and other non-ferrous metals. This 4-1/2" x 3/4" abrasive tool utilizes Pferd's proprietary Polivlies technology, a non-woven polyamide fiber matrix impregnated with abrasive grain. Unlike traditional coated abrasive flap discs designed for stock removal, this tool is optimized for surface refinement, blending, and finishing.

With a 240 grit rating, this disc is positioned for fine finishing applications where surface roughness (Ra) requirements are strict. The non-woven structure offers a distinct advantage in thermal management; the open mesh design allows for significant airflow, keeping the grinding zone cool. This is critical when working with aluminum, which is susceptible to heat discoloration and warping. Furthermore, the flexibility of the flaps allows the disc to contour to the workpiece, preventing undercutting and ensuring that the geometric integrity of the part is maintained.

Industrial operators will appreciate the consistency provided by the Polivlies material. As the disc wears, fresh abrasive grain is continuously exposed, ensuring that the finish quality remains uniform from the first pass to the last. This specific SKU features a 3/4" arbor, making it compatible with specific grinding tools requiring this bore size. It serves as an excellent final step in a multi-stage finishing process or as a single-step solution for cleaning and satin-finishing aluminum surfaces.
