Understand Stearate and Its Impact on Abrasives

bit longer life and I want to touch on this just really quickly too because when I first got into using abrasives like five years ago it really just kind of revolutionized and changed how I did things in cabinet painting a lot of the terminology was new to me and just like right over my head and and I started hearing the word steration I'm like what the heck is that you brought that up and can you just touch on you kind of touched on it this this if you look at it it's yellow and if we look at it like really closely on the camera it's like yellow and gray and what is starration and what does it actually do starration is added into to the abrasive right and then you can do it in a multiple different ways one way is to do what we do here with filmtech is to apply this narration into this the resin and then apply it to the abrasive and then when it's sprayed on with this one this called a rolled on steroid so it's actually the steroid is on a roller and it's actually coated on after the um abrasive but before the resins and stuff so it's actually on there with the resins but it wears off much quicker because it's applies out to the rest and so one of the things I learned was that's you know why unida's abrasives are so much more effective sometimes cost a little bit more than what you can buy at your local hardware store is the process that goes to manufacturing this abrasive and typically you're not going to see sterilation in a lot of these lower end abrasives and so they're not going to be as effective they're going to load up a lot more and that's is that kind of correct it is and it isn't um it's cheaper to do a rolled on stair rate than it is to do do a steroid in the resins right so if you see a product with a rolled on steroid it's usually on the the lower end and depending on the grain you know it abrasives is a is an evolving thing and when I talk to people about abrasives and the different grains and why we use this or why we use that that's kind of the steriation goes into that and even though this is a rolled on steroid and it's a less expensive product it's still a really good product because we use a premium grain right out of that come on so they that that's a very a huge point you know when you're looking at abrasives is to make sure that where you're getting it from what kind of sterilation and what you want to do with your substrate so I think it's it's pretty important if you're looking for you know that ultra fine finish um the factory…
