AFS Launch New Film Backed Ceramic Velcro Discs for Orbital Sanding

The new Cibo ceramic velcro discs are ideal for orbital sanding stainless steel and aluminium. Superior disc life and competitive prices make the FCGR range the go-to discs for all orbital sanding.

FCGR Film Backed Ceramic Discs

Cibo FCGR ceramic velcro sanding discs now available on the AFS website. The best place in the UK to buy orbital sanding discs for pre-paint finishing of metal fabrications. With the super strong film backing the FCGR discs will give even longer disc life when compared to aluminium oxide or zirconia discs (eg 1815 grip discs).

A tough film backing reduces the risk of tears and increases the grinding pressure on the metal surface
A premium ceramic abrasive grain ensures fast cvut and a longer life
Reduced clogging of the sanding discs and a cooler cut with the top coat of grinding aids.

Replace Zirconia Paper Discs and Save Time and Money

Extensive testing by Cibo Abrasives has proven that switching from zirconia paper discs to the film backed FCGR ceramics will save you time and money.

FCGR ceramic film discs will:

Cost less to buy. Amazingly the new Cibo Ceramic FCGR discs costs between 10 and 15% less, disc for disc.
Last longer. The tougher ceramic abrasive grain combined with the cooling agents in the disc will ensure much longer disc life.
Reduced clogging on aluminium. With a durable stearate coating reducing the heat aluminium will cut away cleanly and allow the discs to last longer.
