BROWN LINE
Conductive paper backings
Brown Line Papers are low resistivity antistatic paper backings designed for the sanding of wood or any other insulators. They reduce sawdust, increase the cleanliness of the sanded piece and reduce scratches, improve the lifetime of the abrasive and provide safe and clean workshop.
Key facts
Standard weights:
185 to 350 g/m²
Key Solutions:
Nodust B | Black B | Stat B
Options:
Anticurl (RDS)
• Various resistivity solutions
• Durability thanks to an antistatic treatment applied directly in the core of the paper or as a surface in a sandwich between the make coat and the backing
• No additional conducting agent in the binder is needed
• Solutions for fine grits (STAT B, BLACK B)
• High and consistent internal bond
• Universal reinforced barrier (B) for limited risk of resin penetration and preserved flexibility
• Various dimensional stability and tear resistance options
• Different weight, smoothness, and colors fitting industrial sanding requirements
BLUE LINE
Latex paper backings
From the early steps to super-finishing, the Blue Line includes latex saturated and coated abrasive papers. They can be customized with various options to meet the best combination of flexibility, durability (tear resistance & cohesion), stability and water-resistance requirements for high performance during wet or dry sanding with sheets, discs, narrow belts, and other niche applications.
Key facts
Standard weights:
80–150 g/m²C
Key solutions:
Finish | Finishflex RF | Strong | Wet AS | Wetflex AS
Options:
Anticurl (RF) | Antigliss (FG, AS, ZS)
• One of the most extensive ranges of consistent latex-impregnated solutions to meet all market needs and guarantee high-quality abrasive
• Increased lifetime thanks to reduced delamination (very high cohesion) and good grit adhesion
• Various flexibility and tear resistance solutions for DRY applications
• Various wet strength and dimensional stability solutions for WET applications
• Premium anticurl and tear resistance options
• Backside antislip treatment options, to prevent process or sanding slipping issues
• Solutions for any make-coat systems
• Surfaces adapted to all grit sizes, including the finest ones
• A large choice of standard color and various surfaces, basis weights and smoothness
YELLOW LINE
Saturating abrasive paper backings
The Yellow Line is composed by papers requiring an additional impregnation step before the maker transformation. Once impregnated the Yellow Line papers are a competitive alternative to latex papers and are performant backings for manual sanding in wet or dry conditions.
Key facts
Standard weights:
70–130 g/m²
Key solutions:
Bond
Alternative ready-to-go on the maker:
EZ-BOND (no impregnation required)
• Specifically designed for abrasive application
• Various porosity structure to adjust impregnation speed and control the quantity of absorption depending on the different resin and oil types
• Quality consistency for a controlled and optimized consumption
• Emphasized wet strength resistance available as an option
• Good internal bond of the paper
• Regular and homogeneous sheet formation
• Smooth surface for fine grit applications
• Colored paper with high consistency and better aspect after impregnation, compared to kraft papers
