Differences Between Non Woven Polishing Wheels and Traditional Polishing Wheels

There are many differences between Non Woven Polishing Wheels and traditional polishing wheels, including:

Material Differences:

Non Woven Polishing Wheels: Made from special non woven fabric, typically composed of synthetic fibers like nylon. This material features high porosity and softness.
Traditional Polishing Wheels: Often made from materials such as ceramic, resin, or rubber, which are generally harder and have lower porosity.
Structural Characteristics:
Non Woven Polishing Wheels: Have an open structure with many pores, allowing them to better capture and carry away debris during polishing. This reduces heat buildup and provides a more even and refined polishing effect.
Traditional Polishing Wheels: Have a denser structure with fewer pores, which can lead to more heat buildup during polishing, requiring more frequent cooling.
Performance Advantages:
Non Woven Polishing Wheels: Due to their softness and adaptability, they are especially suitable for polishing complex-shaped workpieces. They conform better to the surface, reducing damage during the polishing process.
Traditional Polishing Wheels: May not perform as well on complex shapes due to their hardness and fixed shape, which can make them less adaptable to the contours of the workpiece.
Application Range:
Non Woven Polishing Wheels: Widely used in applications requiring fine polishing, such as precision instruments, medical devices, jewelry, and automotive parts.
Traditional Polishing Wheels: More commonly used for rough surface treatments, such as initial metal grinding and coarse polishing.
Durability and Replacement Frequency:
Non Woven Polishing Wheels: Typically have a longer lifespan and lower replacement frequency due to their material properties, helping to reduce long-term maintenance costs.
Traditional Polishing Wheels: May need to be replaced more frequently, especially during high-intensity polishing tasks.
Customization Services:
Non Woven Polishing Wheels: Highly customizable to meet specific customer needs, including size, hardness, and grit. For example, our Buffing Nylon Non Woven Polishing Wheel can be tailored to precise specifications.
Traditional Polishing Wheels: Generally offer less customization, with a narrower range of choices and flexibility compared to non woven polishing wheels.
