MICRO MESH / MICROMESH POLISHING KIT 9 SHEETS 6" X 4"

** Thanks to one of our customers we have been able to buy a job lot of Micro-Mesh™ from the now closed Wolfson Hospital, please contact if you have any stocks to sell***

All 9 grades of GENUINE Micro-Mesh™ (not stencilled inferior products) why pay money for rubbish! buy the best.

Hopefully this will answer some of the repeat questions I get:

Q: If I buy multiple items can you send them as large sheets 8x6, 12x6 or 16x6?

A: Yes thats no problem, unless otherwise stated if you buy doubles or triples etc you will get them as 6x4 sets, just let me know

Q: Where do you get your Micro-Mesh™ from?

A: I scour job lot/bankruptcy auctions in the UK also have some good tips from customers.                 

Q. Are you an authorised Surface Finishing distributor?

A: No I am not, I started this by accident buying a job lot of "sandpaper" and then finding out what I had, I do have to buy rolls to make up sets from a distributor.

Q: I have a couple of rolls for sale how much will you give me for them ?

A: I get this a lot! I will not buy odd rolls as I am a little uncomfortable purchasing if I am not sure  where they are coming from, job lots, ex jewellery manufacturers or hospital stocks welcome.

Q: Can you get the full range of Micro-Mesh™ products?

A:  At the moment I can only do the 9 sheet kits, but later in the year I will look to stock a full range if there is enough interest and I can negotiate a good deal with the distributor but in the meantime please see the manufacturers website https://micro-surface.com/

Q: Please can you tell me why you dont have a "proper" address?

A: Yes, its nothing untoward I was having a lot of trouble with canvasers posting me information and one company even put my addres on there local reps round trying to sell me other types of cheaper abrasives.

The specifications are below

All types of MICRO-MESH™ are manufactured utilizing Ultra-Flex technology. Each type is long lasting, cushioned, extremely flexible, and re- useable. 

The Ultra-flex properties of MICRO-MESH™ allows it to conform to shapes conventional products cannot, giving you additional finishing options. 

All formats are made with large, very uniform crystals that recede into the Ultra-Flex matrix as pressure is applied, allowing the crystal tips to all line up so they are level with the part being polished. This technology provides a more brilliant, consistent finish.

Ultra-Flex technology reduces crystal fracturing making it a long-lasting, high quality abrasive like no other on today's market. It also reduces heat generation that can wear out the abrasive crystals and cause orange peel, pitting or other surface imperfections in the part being polished.

MICRO-MESH™ THE NON-ABRASIVE ABRASIVE 

Micro-Mesh is what we like to call a non-abrasive abrasive. It is considered a cushioned abrasive in fact.

Conventional sandpaper is designed to be aggressive so that it will dig deeply. In its manufacture the crystals are electrically charged so that they will stand up. They are locked into a hard resin and when you apply the paper to a surface it will literally tear in and remove the substrate of the material you are sanding. The crystals cut in a negative raking motion, leaving inconsistent scratch patterns.

Micro-Mesh does the opposite. The backing is long lasting cloth to which an ultra-flexible cushioning layer is applied. This cushioning layer will determine how far forward you can push crystals before they will penetrate the cushioning layer. On top of this layer, we have a very resilient glue, not a hard resin, but a completely flexible glue that will hold the crystals while allowing it to move and rotate. The crystals can turn in any direction without coming loose. 

When you start to apply pressure to sand with Micro-Mesh™, the crystals will go into the cushioning layer while beginning to cut a bit. If you push harder, they will go further into the cushioning layer, which serves as a safety valve. It determines how much pressure you can exert in a doward direction. Instead of a deep scratch that sandpaper makes, 

Micro-Mesh produces a refined scratch that is close to a RMS of 1.0. The cushioning layer also allows the crystals to cut with a planing motion that leaves an extremely consistent scratch pattern and allows you to achieve extraordinary levels of gloss.

Where conventional abrasives will take surfaces down 2 or 3 thousandths (.002 or .003), Micro-Mesh™ will take it down one ten thousandth (.0001) or less.

Abrasive colors of this product range from dark grey to light grey. This material is made to be used wet or dry, is made with a flexible cotton backing with polymer emulsion cushioning layer and large micron graded silicon carbide crystals suspended in an ultra flexible resin bond.*Grades 8000 and 12000 are made with aluminum oxide crystals.

This material is available in the following 9 grades, from coarse, to fine:1500, 1800, 2400, 3200, 3600, 4000, 6000, 8000*, and 12000* REGULAR.

1500 MICRO-MESH™ is equivalent to a scratch pattern left using 400 wet/dry, but is much more consistent.
