IMPORTANT NOTICE Coated abrasives are inert products which do not create any risk when handled or stored.
When used on grinding machines they require specific measures to protect operators. During grinding operations 90% or more
of the particulate of dust come from the material being ground and, for wet grinding, from aerosols generated by the grinding
fluid. Specific attention must therefore be given to the nature of the part and of the fluid and the appropriate protection devices
must be installed.
