Flexible abrasives at a glance

Tyrolit's flexible abrasives combine high performance with impressive versatility.

They are ideal for professional applications and demanding industrial processes – from surface preparation to finishing.

Our portfolio comprises two main categories:

Coated Abrasives

A layer of high-quality abrasive grains on a flexible backing material ensures efficient grinding, polishing and finishing – with excellent stock removal performance.

Non-woven abrasives

The three-dimensional fibre fleece with embedded abrasive particles enables particularly gentle surface finishing – ideal for deburring, cleaning and satin finishing without changing the shape of the workpiece.

Market development and trends

The global market for flexible abrasives has now reached a volume of over 5 billion US dollars. Solutions that adapt to modern production requirements are particularly in demand, for example through:

  • Sustainability: Recyclable and sustainable carrier materials and environmentally friendly production processes are gaining in importance.
  • Automation: The use of robot cells in the application of coated and non-woven products is increasing – efficiency and process reliability are becoming the focus.
  • Regionalisation: Local production for local markets is more in demand than ever. Tyrolit is ideally positioned here and can respond quickly to new requirements.

Tyrolit is responding to these developments and consistently integrating them into its product development – for high-performance, sustainable solutions in industrial applications.
