摘要

An abrasive article comprises an abrasive part (1) having a first surface and an opposing second surface, and a backing (2) suitable for hand-held use or for attachment to the pad of a machine that provides a similar action, wherein the backing (2) is formed of injection-moulded polymeric material, the first surface of the abrasive part being fixed directly to the backing by the polymeric material and the second surface defining a working surface of the abrasive article. A method of making the abrasive article comprises: providing the abrasive part (1); injecting molten polymeric material in contact with the first surface thereof; and allowing the polymeric material to cool while remaining in contact with the first surface to form the backing.
