UK Abrasives

Company Description

UK Abrasives products are ideal for a wide variety of applications. Foam abrasives can be used with greater efficiency, speed and effectiveness when compared to traditional sandpaper sheets. With todays advanced manufacturing technologies, foam backed abrasives are the ultimate alternative to conventional sandpaper.


With a regular sandpaper, the grit is coated onto a hard, solid substrate or backing. The grain cannot 'flex' into the backing therefore causing the grain to break away from the surface. Coating directly onto a solid material causes heat build-up on the surface being sanded. This excessive heat then tends to build-up your sheet, decreasing the life of the product.


Our foam abrasives are manufactured with premium abrasive grains and flexible adhesives that are coated directly onto the surface of the foam. This unique method of coating minimizes heat build-up and extends the life of our products as much as ten times over regular sandpaper.


Our various shapes and sizes allow you to sand flat surfaces such as raised panel doors and cabinets as well as highly contoured surfaces like dado-rails, handrails, corners and crevices. They work exceptionally well on white wood sanding and polishing varnish. Foam abrasives are able to be used wet or dry, in fact they can be washed for reuse. They are very easy to use and comfortable to hold.
