Norton Extends Its Aluminium Processing Offer

Global abrasives manufacturer Norton has upgraded its successful range for aluminium and non-ferrous metal applications. The extended range includes well-known cutting discs and grinding wheels complemented by new mesh flap discs for use on right angle grinders.

Featuring the specially developed new bond, which is much more loading-resistant, combined with unique aluminium oxide grains, the new Norton ALU cutting and grinding discs offer up to 30% higher performance than our previous aluminium range. Thanks to the specially developed formulation, the tools deliver a fast, easy and free cut without clogging, even on soft materials. 

A newcomer to the range is Norton Alu Mesh Flap Disc. Designed for outstanding metal removal rates, the disc features an open mesh structure that reduces heat generation during use on an angle grinder for better part quality and minimal material loss. These tools are ideal for corrosion or paint removal on sheet metal and light-gauge sections.

Tomasz Dus, Product Manager at Norton Abrasives, claims: “New Norton ALU range for right angle grinder applications is our answer to the growing market demands for high-performance abrasives dedicated specially for aluminium and soft metals. By offering significantly higher material removal rates, longer life and improved operator comfort, we’re confident that our abrasives solutions for non-ferrous materials meet and exceed our customers’ expectations in every way.
