    Grit refers to the number of abrasive particles per inch of sandpaper. Lower grit numbers indicate rougher sandpaper while higher grit numbers mean smoother sandpaper. There are three main differences between commercial and industrial grade sandpaper: the abrasive grit, backing material, and bonding agents. Industrial grade uses higher quality components and tighter manufacturing tolerances. It uses stronger abrasive grits, higher quality backing materials like fine cotton or polyester rather than kraft paper, and better bonding agents that withstand heat and moisture unlike hide glue used in commercial grades. The table shows grit size designations from various standards and the average particle diameter for each grit, ranging from extra coarse to ultra fine grades for different

    SAND PAPER
    What is grit?
    When talking about sandpaper "grit" is a reference to the number of abrasive particles per
    inch of sandpaper. The lower the grit the rougher the sandpaper and conversely, the
    higher the grit number the smoother the sandpaper. This make sense if you imagine how
    small the particles on an 800grit sandpaper would need to be to fit into a !" s"uare.
    #andpaper is referred to by the si$e of its grit %i.e. !&0grit sandpaper'.
    So whats the difference between Commercial and Industrial grades?
    There are three main components to sandpaper( the abrasive grit, the backing material, and the bonding
    agents. )ndustrial grade sandpaper uses higher "uality components as well as tighter manufacturing
    tolerances.
    Abrasie !rit * )ndustrial grade sandpapers use abrasive grit material that is stronger and less likely to
    break down or wear out. +igher "uality grits are often very finely graded to ensure consistency.
    "ac#ing $aterial * Commercial grade samdpapers tend to use kraft paper or lowgrade fabric as a
    backing material. +igher grades of backing material are often made from fine cottons or polyesters.
    "onding Agent * The bonding agent is the glue that attaches the abrasive to the paper,s backing. -ower
    grades of sandpaper are often made from hide glue, which doesn,t hold up well with heat or moisture.
    +ighergrade bonding agents such as phenolic resin are used for industrial grade sandpapers.
