Abstract

The present invention relates generally to coated abrasive articles that include active filler particles in a supersize coat, a make coat, or combinations thereof, as well as methods of making and using said coated abrasive articles.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. Coated abrasive article comprising:
a backing material;
an abrasive layer disposed on the backing material, wherein the abrasive layer comprises abrasive particles disposed on or in a binder composition;
a size coat layer disposed on the abrasive layer; and
a supersize coat layer disposed on the size coat layer,
wherein the supersize coat layer comprises
a polymeric composition, and
a plurality of active filler particles dispersed in the polymeric composition,

wherein the active filler particles comprise alkyl quaternary ammonium bentonite particles, and
wherein the active filler particles are present in an amount based on the weight of the supersize coat layer of not less than 0.1 weight percent and not greater than 15 weight percent.

2. The abrasive article of claim 1 , wherein the active filler particles are present in an amount based on the weight of the supersize coat layer ranging from 3 wt % to 14 wt %.

3. The abrasive article of claim 1 , wherein the organically modified clay particles have an average particle size of not greater than 50 microns and not less than 1 micron.

4. The abrasive article of claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of alumina trihydrate particles dispersed in the binder composition of the abrasive layer.

5. The abrasive article of claim 4 , wherein the alumina trihydrate particles are present in amount not greater than 15 weight % and not less than 0.1 wt %.

6. The abrasive article of claim 1 , wherein the abrasive article has an increased cumulative carbon steel removal rating of at least 5% compared to an identical coated abrasive with the only difference being the plurality of active filler particles present in the supersize coat.

7. The abrasive article of claim 1 , wherein the abrasive article has an increased cumulative stainless steel material removal rating of at least 5% compared to an identical coated abrasive with the only difference being the plurality of active filler particles present in the supersize coat.

8. The abrasive article of claim 1 , wherein the abrasive article has an increased cumulative Inconel material removal rating of at least 5% compared to an identical coated abrasive with the only difference being the plurality of active filler particles present in the supersize coat.

9. The abrasive article of claim 1 , wherein the active filler particles of the supersize coat consist essentially of alkyl quaternary ammonium bentonite particles.

10. A method of making a coated abrasive article comprising:
disposing an abrasive layer on a backing;
disposing a size coat layer on the abrasive layer;
disposing a supersize coat layer on the size coat layer,
wherein the supersize coat layer comprises a plurality of active filler particles dispersed in a polymeric composition,
wherein the active filler particles comprise alkyl quaternary ammonium bentonite particles, and
wherein the active filler particles are present in an amount based on the weight of the supersize coat layer of not less than 0.1 weight percent and not greater than 15 weight percent.
