FLAP DISCS
Longer, faster
and better grinding.
Unbeatable technology and performance
The first flap discs for high-speed angle grinders were developed at the end
of the 1970s. More than 30 years of experience and unbeatable technology
go into the manufacture of every CS Unitec flap disc. In terms of material
removal capacity, service life and grinding quality, the flap discs that bear
the brand TIGER SHARK-PLANTEX ® – plus the newest development,
PLANTEX®, made of hemp fiber high-tech compound – are among the best
in the world.
Top of the class in material removal, service life and quality
The performance and service life of a flap disc are not only dependent on
the abrasive fabric used, but above all on the correct combination of elastic
backing material; grit mixtures on the flaps; the angle at which the flap is
held against the material; hard pressing; gluing system; and more. These
considerations are part of what sets CS Unitec apart from the rest – not all
flap discs are the same!
Good for the environment and better for your health
Great care is taken to select raw materials that are environmentally sound
and user friendly. Commonly used materials such as fiberglass, mineral
fibers and epoxy resins are avoided in favor of sustainable raw materials
such as hemp for the discs’ backing plates. A patented, revolutionary elastic
adhesive mounting system for the abrasive fabric flaps further contributes to
the safety, performance, service life and user friendliness of CS Unitec flap
discs. Our discs also considerably reduce vibration and noise while grinding.
Unique patented production process
Completely new production technologie s have been developed to
manufacture our high-quality flap discs. The adhesion of the flaps to the
backing disc is achieved using a patented, revolutionary adhesive system.
In contrast to many rival products, the flaps of CS Unitec’s discs are
pressed on to the backing disc over their full area – throughout the entire
hardening process – to produce a solid, compact and vibration-stable
abrasive. This al so gives added support to the grits and holds them firmly in
their mounting, considerably extending the service life of the grinding discs.

Standard and endurance
tests ensure quality and
play an essential role in
progressive new
developments.
Speed test
Grinding discs are tested on a
centrifugal test machine to ensure
that they can withstand the sort of
speeds that are required for
grinding work. The test system can
test discs at speeds of up to
30,000 RPM.
Endurance grinding test
Endurance tests are conducted to
measure the material removal and
service life of flap discs. New
fabrics are tested to ensure their
suitability and their grinding
properties on various materials.
Compliant with American
and German standards set
by ANSI B7.1 and DIN
13743.
