Polishing Buffs |
Figure 1.1 |
Lippert-Unipol
polishing buffs are produced from various cotton webs and NOTIFLEX®,
developed especially for surface treatment.
Specifications:
• Number of warp and weft threads
• Diameter of the individual threads or fibres
• Surface weight
• Other treatment as needed
Figure 1.1 shows that the warp and weft threads lie at an angle
of 45° to the tangent. This prevents fraying and extends service
life.
