With decades of experience in ceramic, abrasive and micro replication technologies, 3M has literally reinvented abrasives with 3M™ Cubitron™ II products. Starting with a patented, precision-shaped ceramic abrasive grain, 3M engineers found a way to electrostatically orient each triangular structure to maximize cutting potential.

As a resultant of this, each individual precision-shaped ceramic grain acts like a cutting tool, slicing through metal like a knife, and continuously self-sharpens as points break off. This allows 3M™ Cubitron™ II Belts and Discs to run cooler and keep on working, long after conventional abrasives have dulled, shelled, glazed over and been tossed out.

With the introduction of 3M™ Cubitron™ II fibre discs, the Cubitron brand now represents a promise that extends to the entire product range. 3M™ Cubitron™ II abrasive fibre discs are heavy duty discs used for weld removal, grinding and blending large and small areas of metal surfaces which cut faster and last longer. They also require less grinding pressure than any other industrial ceramic abrasive product available today.

3M Abrasive Solutions are a comprehensive range of proprietary technologies that provide strong abrasion properties. These solutions enhance productivity, operational efficiency and workforce welfare to deliver output that is a cut-above competition. The abrasive products from 3M are available in a wide range of sizes, backing weights, mineral choices and grades. They comprise of cutting & grinding discs, power tools, Scotchbrite™ surface conditioning abrasives and super abrasives.

3M Gulf is now introducing these products for its customers across the Middle East region.
