Manufacture of Surface Conditioning Materials (SCM)

The production process begins with the basic fibres. They are carded, layered and needle-punched to form a nonwoven fabric. In a second step, the backing is sprayed with a blend of bonding agents and grit which penetrates into the fabric.

Stage 1 of the production process:

  • Step 1: Opening/mixing of fibres
  • Step 2: Carding
  • Step 3: Crosslapping
  • Step 4: Needle-punching
  • Step 5: Winding
Stage 2 of the production process:
  • Step 1: Impregnation
  • Step 2: Grit coating
  • Step 3: Spraying
  • Step 4: Hardening
  • Step 5: Winding
