CS UNITEC | 93564 | PLANTEX® Spitfire Premium Zirconia 4 1/2" Dia, 40 Grit, 5/8"-11 Arbor (Pack of 10) - Made in Germany

The development of the new PLANTEX high-tech compound has resulted in the production of the first flap discs in the world with a backing plate made of natural hemp. In addition to excellent material, the discs offer maximum operator safety, high abrasion and long service life protection of natural resources and environmental friendliness. The fiber substrate of the PLANTEX high-tech compound gives it absorbent, spring-like properties that enhance grinding performance. This flexibility provides a greater contact surface area with the work piece (more grit is used) that results in higher material removal. The larger contact surface area also dissipates more heat, making the grinding work cooler – the work piece does not suffer smearing and the abrasive fabric does not burn. The backing plate used on PLANTEX flap discs is fully trimmable and reduces in diameter automatically during grinding. It can also be trimmed with cutting tools, a process that is simple and straightforward. The PLANTEX Spitfire flap disc can be used down to the last flap of the RZ Zirconum abrasive – and saves you money in the process! The superior strength values of this high-tech compound are achieved through a patented new treatment (“impact method”) for hemp fibers. Hemp fiber high-tech compound is an almost ideal base material for flap disc backing plates – it is flexible, heat-absorbent (for low grinding temperatures), very easy to trim, safe to use and easy to dispose of. The cavities of the hemp fiber structure, have a highly insulating, damping and noise-reducing effect, thus enhancing the safety features of the discs. The PLANTEX flap disc is patented and made in Germany. Get the most out of your PLANTEX Flap Discs by using them on the Varilex WSF 1800 Professional Electric Blending and Polishing Tool.
