Micro-Mesh abrasives are high-quality, cushioned polishing tools designed to deliver flawless finishes across metals, acrylics, plastics, and coated surfaces. Trusted by professionals and hobbyists alike, the Micro-Mesh range combines precision, durability, and ease of use to achieve ultra-smooth results.

• Cushioned structure: The combination of cloth backing, latex layer and abrasive grit enables the material to adapt and conform to complex surfaces — reducing scratching, loading and heat build‑up compared to conventional sandpaper.

• Extended life and fewer steps: Because of the premium construction and larger abrasive crystals, Micro‑Mesh grades can last significantly longer and often achieve the finish in fewer stages.

• Wide material compatibility: Whether working with acrylic model parts, stainless steel, solid surface countertops or metal components, Micro‑Mesh offers a grade and format suited to the task.

• Trusted across levels: From hobby‑level restoration and model making to aerospace, automotive and industrial applications, Micro‑Mesh has proven reliability.

Q1: What surfaces can Micro‑Mesh be used on?
A1: Ideal for plastics (acrylic, polycarbonate), metal (stainless, aluminium), lacquered surfaces, wood, solid surface (such as Corian®) and other composite materials.
Q2: What grit grades are available?
A2: Micro‑Mesh comes in a wide range of grades — from coarse for initial stock removal or shaping, through ultra‑fine (such as 12000 or 1 µm) for polishing and mirror finishes.
Q3: Do I need separate formats for machine vs hand finishing?
A3: Yes. While hand finishing excels with Flexifiles, pads and swabs, machine finishing is better suited for discs, belts and sheets in larger formats.
Q4: Can I use Micro‑Mesh repeatedly?
A4: Yes — thanks to its durable cushioned design, Micro‑Mesh often lasts significantly longer than traditional abrasives when used correctly.
