- A coated abrasive disk is usually prepared by coating an adhesive or pressure-sensitive adhesive on a back pad disk, and bonding the back pad to a disk form of a coated abrasive material (comprised of a backsheet and a layer of an abrasive material), followed by heat-pressing.
- Recently, it has become more preferred to use in a sanding (grinding) a coated abrasive disk comprising as a back pad a loop fabric layer having several loops which is adhered to a hook fabric pad tool.
- However, the coated abrasive disk prepared by laminating a loop fabric layer and a coated abrasive material using an adhesive, which shown in
FIG. 1 , has the problems of stiffness and low durability, which limits the use of such an abrasive disk. - Accordingly, it is a primary object of the present invention to provide a loop fabric layer-containing coated abrasive disk which shows an improved elasticity and high cutting performance characteristics; and a method for preparing said coated abrasive disk.

In the above procedure, the backsheet of the coated abrasive material, and the projected filament loops of the loop fabric are placed upwards. The respective coated abrasive material, carbon fiber textile or glass fiber paper, and the loop fabric are pre-cut in the form of a disk. The use of the pre-dried carbon fiber textile or glass fiber paper makes it unnecessary to further use an additive in the final step. - In addition, in the inventive method for the preparation of the coated abrasive disk, it is preferred that the reticular glass fiber textile plastic plate shown in
FIG. 3 or a plain fabric pattern of a glass fiber textile plastic plate coated with a Teflon resin is placed on the projected filament loops of the loop fabric during a heat-pressing process so that the flattening of the filament loops can be avoided. In case of employing the reticular glass fiber textile plastic plate, the filament loop side of the loop fabric has a reticular pattern generated by flattened loops. The plain fabric pattern of the glass fiber textile plastic plate coated with the Teflon resin is more preferred in terms of prevention of the excessive adhesion between the loop fabric layer and hook fabric pad tool adhered thereto. - The reticular or Teflon resin-coated and plain fabric-patterned glass fiber textile plastic plate used in the present invention may be manufactured by placing one to five glass fiber textiles impregnation-treated with a phenol resin and dried into the stand mold shown in
FIG. 4 , and then applying a pressure of 5 to 7 kgf/cm2 thereto and heating the resulting stack in an oven of 120 to 170° C., preferably 145 to 150° C. for 1 to 5 hrs.
