FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between dry and wet abrasives?

Dry abrasives are used without the use of water and are ideal for quick work and for materials such as marble, stone and porcelain stoneware. Wet abrasives, on the other hand, use water to achieve a finer finish and are perfect for mirror polishing hard surfaces such as black granite, quartzite and quarzo.

How do I choose the right abrasive for machining my material?

The choice depends on the type of work and the material. For marble and granite, diamond and resinoid abrasives offer an excellent finish. For glass and wood, dry abrasives are recommended, while for precision work on shaped surfaces, abrasive sheets or diamond sponges are preferred.

Are abrasives suitable for manual use? 

Yes, many of our abrasives, such as diamond abrasive sheets and abrasive sponges, are designed for manual use, perfect for finishing in corners and hard-to-reach surfaces.

How to choose the right abrasive grit?

The choice of abrasive grit depends on the intensity of the work to be done. Coarser grits (e.g. 24-60) are ideal for material removal and roughing, while medium grits (e.g. 80-150) are for sanding and surface preparation. Fine grits (e.g. 220-400) are used for polishing and achieving perfect finishes. For high precision work or final polishing, we recommend extra-fine grits (over 400).

How are felts and abrasive paste used to polish marble and granite?

Wool felts Wool felts are used together with abrasive paste to polish marble and granite. To use them correctly, simply apply the abrasive paste directly on the felt while rotating on the grinder. This combination produces a smooth, polished finish, ideal for restoring or finishing natural stone surfaces. The felt, which is available in wool or cotton, must be mounted on the grinder, preferably on a polishing machine that allows it to work at low speed. This is crucial to avoid overheating the material and to achieve an optimal polishing result without damaging the surface. The abrasive paste must be chosen according to the colour of the material to be polished. We have coloured abrasive pastes suitable for different types of marble and granite, to perfectly match the colour and texture of the surface to be treated.
