Weiler Abrasives Introduces New Zirconia Alumina Resin Fiber Discs for Increased Performance

Discs provide a fast cut, long life solution for challenging grinding applications.  

MARIBOR, Slovenia — Feb. 4, 2025 — Weiler Abrasives, a leading provider of abrasives and power brushes for surface conditioning, has announced the expansion of its line of resin fiber discs. The new Zirconia Alumina resin fiber discs provide maximum performance, a fast cut and long life for grinding tough metals like steel, stainless steel, structural steel, cast iron and Inconel.  

“The new Zirc discs provide superior performance in even the most demanding grinding applications,” said Uroš Filipič, product manager, Weiler Abrasives. “These discs leverage a unique blend of self-sharpening zirconia alumina grains to deliver a fast cut rate and exceptional consistency.”  

The disc’s design maximizes grain retention, which extends disc life and reduces changeovers to save users time and money. The self-sharpening zirconia alumina grains hold up under high temperatures and extreme pressure, while active fillers dissipate heat during high-pressure grinding. This results in cool grinding that reduces rework and protects high-value parts. In addition, a heavy-duty vulcanized fiber backing stands up to demanding jobs.  

Also, the contaminant-free formula provides a worry-free solution for stainless steel. These discs are often used in shipbuilding and metal fabrication, for applications such as heavy stock removal, edge chamfering, weld blending, grinding, finishing and surface preparation.  

The addition of zirconia alumina adds more performance options to Weiler Abrasives’ resin fiber disc offerings. The lineup also includes Aluminum Oxide resin fiber discs, designed to deliver a fast grinding solution for everyday use. Durable aluminum oxide grains provide a smooth cut rate and consistent performance on a variety of materials, including soft alloys, low-alloy steels and non-ferrous metals. These discs are good for applications such as weld blending, grinding, sanding, finishing and surface preparation.
