CRESCO, Pa. — Jan. 28, 2025 — Weiler Abrasives, a leading producer of abrasives and power brushes for surface conditioning, is excited to announce a new lineup of non-woven cleaning and stripping products designed to remove coatings and rust in preparation for welding and manufacturing operations. New Tiger Ceramic and Tiger Silicon Carbide non-woven strip discs deliver superior cleaning power and extended product life for applications in metal fabrication, shipbuilding, automotive and other industries.
“Our new Tiger Ceramic strip discs use an innovative formulation that provides industry-leading material removal and cleaning power for maximum surface cleaning efficiency,” said Michael Zulauf, product design engineer, Weiler Abrasives. “With an optimal balance between conformability and toughness, these discs help users clean faster and clean more.”
Tiger Ceramic strip discs clean up to 20% more material and are up to 20% faster than a leading competitive product, delivering superior cleaning power and extended product life for steel and stainless steel. The self-sharpening ceramic grains effortlessly clean welds and remove thick coatings and stubborn rust, maintaining a consistent cut rate for greater efficiency. The ultra-flexible non-woven nylon fiber and resin formula create a wider footprint and increases the contact area with the work surface, boosting productivity without compromising disc life. This results in industry-leading material removal and cleaning power for maximum surface cleaning efficiency, ideal for weld cleaning, surface preparation and blending, as well as removing thick coatings and heavy rust.
Tiger SiC strip discs clean up to 30% more material than the industry leader in this category. These discs offer a fast-cleaning, long-life solution for steel and stainless steel. Silicon carbide grains provide a high initial cut and penetration, making them ideal for cleaning hard surfaces such as hard-grade steel, structural steel, hot-rolled steel and stainless steel. The ultra-flexible non-woven nylon fiber and resin formula creates a wider footprint and increases the contact area with the work surface, boosting productivity without compromising disc life. The discs are low sparking, which is necessary for confined spaces and areas where hot work is not permitted. Tiger SiC strip discs provide best-in-class material removal, ensuring a durable and long-lasting solution for user’s surface cleaning needs, making them ideal for removing paint, rust, light mill scale and varnish as well as for weld cleaning.
The Tiger Ceramic and Tiger SiC strip discs use a contaminant-free formula that provides a worry-free solution for stainless steel.
Weiler Abrasives also delivers expertise and support through safety training and consumable productivity assessments, helping ensure that operations are using the correct products for their applications.
