Applications

In automotive refinishing, achieving a perfect surface finish is vital for quality and durability. Abrasives are essential for tasks like paint removal and surface prep, with ceramic abrasives offering superior performance due to their self-sharpening properties and durability.

KZ-Ceramic: Perfect for paint stripping and removal on automotive panels, with self-sharpening ceramic grains for cleaner, faster cuts. Ideal for removing paint, rust, and prepping surfaces for repainting.

KZ-Film: Designed for refining topcoats, removing dirt nibs, and fixing imperfections, delivering a smooth, defect-free finish before final painting.

KZ-Superfine: Perfect for ultra-fine finishing on topcoats and lacquers, conforming to contours for seamless blending before the final coat.

KZ-Net: Ideal for dust-free primer sanding and surface prep, reducing airborne dust and boosting productivity in bodyshops. 

KZ-Block: A multi-head block for hand sanding tight areas, effectively refining filler and smoothing imperfections on curves and edges.

KZ-File: Suited for manual sanding in intricate bodywork areas, ensuring precise control and even surfaces before painting.

Ceramic Advantage: In the automotive refinish industry, ceramic abrasives significantly improve efficiency by maintaining their sharpness over long periods, thus reducing the time spent on changing discs and providing more consistent results.

In the OEM sector, especially in automotive and industrial equipment manufacturing, abrasives are crucial for surface preparation and component finishing. Ceramic abrasives are favoured for their durability and cutting power in demanding environments.

KZ-Prep: Designed for metal and primer sanding, these discs efficiently remove material, preparing surfaces for assembly or painting.

KZ-Ceramic: Ideal for preparing metal components and large surfaces in OEM plants, ceramic abrasives provide excellent material removal for mill scale, rust, and surface prep for coatings or bonding.

KZ-Film: Effective for precision finishing, ensuring a smooth, imperfection-free surface. Film discs offer a longer lifespan and better performance in wet environments.

KZ-Net: Used in OEM applications for dust-free sanding of large panels and components, reducing dust and maintaining clean environments for optimal paint and coating adhesion. 

KZ-Block: Ideal for hand sanding hard-to-reach components, providing precise results on complex shapes during the finishing stages.

Ceramic Advantage: In the OEM industry, ceramic abrasives are valued for their durability and ability to handle high workloads, ensuring efficient performance in both aggressive material removal and fine finishing tasks.

Composites used in aerospace, automotive, and marine industries need careful surface treatment due to their delicate structures. Ceramic abrasives are ideal, cutting cleanly while minimising heat buildup that can damage the material.

KZ-Ceramic: Ideal for aggressive material removal on composite parts like fiberglass and Carbon fiber, ceramic discs feature self-sharpening properties for longer life, faster cutting, and cooler performance, reducing delamination risks.

KZ-Superfine: These ultra-fine abrasives are perfect for finishing composite surfaces, achieving a smooth finish without damage. They're excellent for polishing and preparing surfaces for painting or bonding.

KZ-Net: Designed for dust-free sanding of composite materials, these net discs ensure excellent surface preparation and dust extraction, minimising contamination in sensitive environments.

KZ-Block: Used for manual sanding of complex composite shapes, such as concave or convex surfaces, this tool offers flexibility and precision for intricate parts.

KZ-File: Ideal for hand sanding large, flat composite surfaces or shaping areas where machine sanding isn’t feasible.

Ceramic Advantage: Ceramic abrasives in composites reduce heat generation while providing superior cutting power, ensuring delicate materials aren’t damaged during the sanding process.

In woodworking, abrasives are essential for preparing surfaces, from smoothing rough lumber to finishing and prepping for staining. Ceramic abrasives offer superior cutting performance and longevity for both aggressive removal and fine finishing.

KZ-Prep: Suited for general sanding tasks across softwoods, hardwoods, and plywood, these discs deliver a smooth finish with long-lasting performance.

KZ-Ceramic: Ideal for sanding hardwoods and removing tough finishes, these ceramic discs provide fast, efficient cutting without clogging, perfect for shaping, smoothing, and preparing wood for staining or painting.

KZ-Film: Excellent for fine finishing and polishing, with a durable film backing that extends lifespan, especially for wet sanding or use in humid environments.

KZ-Net: Perfect for dust-free sanding. Ideal for sanding between coats or prepping wood for varnish, especially in workshops prioritising dust control.

KZ-Block: This flexible block is designed for hand sanding detailed woodwork or curved surfaces, essential for finishing furniture or cabinetry.

KZ-Flap: Ideal for grinding and finishing wood surfaces, flap discs quickly remove material while providing a smooth finish in fewer steps.

Ceramic Advantage: Ceramic abrasives enhance performance in woodworking by reducing clogging and lasting longer than traditional abrasives, making them ideal for both rough sanding and fine finishing.
