ABRASIVE ARTICLE WITH PATTERNED ABRASIVE PARTICLES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17767507 titled 'ABRASIVE ARTICLE WITH PATTERNED ABRASIVE PARTICLES

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure describes an abrasive article comprising a spunbond web with abrasive particles dispersed on one major surface in a predetermined pattern.

  • Spunbond web with first and second major surfaces and a fiber component
  • Binder dispensed on the fiber component to retain abrasive particles
  • Abrasive particles dispersed on the first major surface in a predetermined pattern

Potential Applications

The technology could be used in various industries such as automotive, construction, and manufacturing for surface finishing and polishing applications.

Problems Solved

This technology provides a more efficient and controlled way of applying abrasive particles to a surface, reducing waste and improving the overall quality of the finished product.

Benefits

- Enhanced surface finishing capabilities - Reduced waste of abrasive particles - Improved control over abrasive application

Potential Commercial Applications

"Spunbond Abrasive Article for Surface Finishing Applications"

Possible Prior Art

There are similar abrasive articles on the market that use different methods to disperse abrasive particles on a surface, but none specifically mention the use of a spunbond web.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology compare to traditional abrasive methods?

This technology offers a more controlled and efficient way of applying abrasive particles compared to traditional methods, but the exact performance differences are not specified in the abstract.

What types of abrasive particles are compatible with this technology?

The abstract does not mention specific types of abrasive particles used in this technology, leaving room for further exploration into the compatibility of different materials.


Original Abstract Submitted

The present disclosure provides an abrasive article. The abrasive article includes a spunbond web. The spunbond web includes a first major surface and an opposite second major surface and a fiber component. The article further includes a binder dispensed on the fiber component. The article further includes abrasive particles substantially retained by the binder and dispersed about the first major surface of the nonwoven web and substantially forming a predetermined pattern.
