New Line of Norton Aluminum Oxide Fiber Discs Offers Economy and 3x Performance Increases



Worcester, MA U.S.A. – Norton / Saint Gobain Abrasives (www.nortonabrasives.com), the world’s leading manufacturer of metal fabrication abrasives products for over 125 years, has recently introduced a new line of resin fiber discs — Norton Neon F726. The new line of Aluminum Oxide (AO) fiber discs offers a proprietary aluminum oxide and organic grain blend, resulting in up to three times the normal AO cut rate, life and overall performance — at an economical price. http://www.nortonindustrial.com/FiberDiscs-NeonF726.aspx



“New Norton Neon F726 Discs bring superior overall value and increased diversity to the Norton product line,” says Patrick Carroll, Senior Product Manager, Norton / Saint Gobain Abrasives. “Regardless of what the customer is looking for — performance or price, Norton offers the broadest range of products to fit that need.”



An improved resin bond system and heavy-duty fiber backing provide enhanced grain adhesion in the Neon F726 line. When compared to competitive AO products, Neon’s unique AO blend allows for a significantly faster initial cut rate which is sustained throughout the life of the disc, providing up to three times the overall value. The new Neon fiber discs are primarily used in the metal fabrication and welding sectors and are ideal for light to moderately demanding right angle grinding applications, as well as blending of mild carbon steel and aluminum.



The new fiber discs, positioned in the Norton “GOOD” product tier, are available in grits 24 through 120, which makes them suitable for a number of metal fabrication applications. The new product will be launched in 10-per-package units, making Norton Neon F726 adaptable for vending or low quantity orders to help minimize inventories, reduce consumption and increase productivity. Packaging is also convenient for carrying to the jobsite and for smaller jobs.



All of Norton / Saint Gobain Abrasives’ fiber products, including the Neon F726, are proudly made in the USA with consistent abrasive manufacturing processes for maximum quality assurance.
