Abrasive article, a process for its manufacture, and a method of using it to reduce a workpiece surface

摘要

An abrasive article having a sheet-like structure having at least one major surface having deployed thereon a plurality of individual abrasive composites, each abrasive composite characterized by a plasticizer and a plurality of abrasive particles dispersed in a binder, wherein said binder is formed by polymerizing a binder precursor and said plasticizer being combined with said binder precursor prior to said polymerizing in an amount of 30 to 70 parts plasticizer per 100 parts by weight of the combined binder precursor and plasticizer. There is also a method of using such as abrasive article to reduce the surface finish of a workpiece and a process of making the abrasive article.
