Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using inadequate fasteners for the application's stress.Employ fasteners rated for shear and tensile strength commensurate with the expected operational forces.
Improper surface preparation leading to poor adhesion or uneven wear.Thoroughly degrease and abrade the substrate to create a profile for optimal mechanical or adhesive bonding.

Common Applications

  • Industrial abrasive media backing plates
  • Large-scale polishing platen construction
