3M Cerium impregnated Trizact material

So, if you're familiar with 3M's trizact material you'll know that it's an embedded alumina oxide material that has the abrasive encapsulated into tiny little pyramids of grit. These pyramids do an excellent job of focusing the grit on the material and cutting at a nice rate with nice surface results on your glass.

Never one to rest on their laurels, 3M has taken this same technology and instead of creating pyramids of alumina oxide, they instead used cerium oxide. The 3M 572LA Trizact material is therefore a cerium impregnated polishing material that requires nothing but water to achieve a quick, bright, fantastic polish on your glass.

We've been testing the material for over a year now and are very impressed with the results. We've even sold our large felt polishing wheel and have moved to polishing just with the 3M cerium impregnated 4 x 106 inch belt on our Somaca. It's that good.

We've taken the material and utilized in various forms now. We have the aforementioned belts in 6 x 2-1/2 and 8 x 3 for the expanding drums, 3 x 41-1/2 for the tabletop wet belt sanders and 4 x 106 for the larger upright belt sanders. We also have the material available in velcro backed 4 inch and 5 inch diameter disk for use with right angle grinders for your final polish on cast work. We've even made cerium hand pads out of the material so you can move your work to a final polish by hand with no machines required (how cool is that!). We even have replaced our 1 inch felt disks in our smoothing disk kits with 6 of the cerium impregnated disks. No more messy slurries, no more wondering if you're using too little or too much cerium to polish your work. Just put this material on your machine, add water and polish.
