From medical devices to engine components, musical instruments and countless other manufactured parts, Micro-Mesh is the optimum finishing medium. Micro-Mesh provides superior surface qualities and reduced steps, on a wide range of materials. Micro-Mesh is made with a flexible cloth backing, topped with a layer of especially formulated latex. Silicone carbide or aluminum oxide crystals are bonded with a flexible glue. The various sizes of abrasive grit are adhered on the cloth backing in such a manner that the crystals are held in a resilient matrix, as opposed to a hard matrix (such as what is normally used in sandpaper or emery cloth). When contact pressure is applies to the work piece, Micro-Mesh crystals recede and rotate slightly to present their sharp cutting edges evenly across the surface, cutting together on the same plane with a positive rake. Because the crystals can move back into the cushion, a very fine scratch pattern is produced with a relatively large crystal. The result is a uniform, even surface pattern the requires fewer aggressive steps to produce the final finish. The larger crystals and the flexible glue bond result in longer lasting material the resists loading and heat build up. The result is reduced polishing time and production of the finest uniform scratch patter with the most economical process. Use Micro-Mesh for finishing flute and saxophone tenons and sockets, polishing and refacing mouthpieces, taking scratches out of metal, wood and plastic parts.
