Hardwire 3x2 Cord Product Information -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -: # **Hardwire® 3x2 Cord: Advanced Dual-Layer Coated Abrasive Cord** ## **Product Overview** Hardwire® 3x2 Cord represents a breakthrough in coated abrasive technology, featuring a unique dual-layer construction designed for superior cutting performance and extended service life. The "3x2" designation refers to its innovative **three-dimensional fiber core** wrapped with **two distinct abrasive layers** oriented in perpendicular directions. This proprietary architecture enables simultaneous cutting in multiple directions, significantly improving material removal rates while maintaining exceptional flexibility for intricate finishing applications. Engineered for precision surface finishing in complex geometries and hard-to-reach areas, this cord combines aggressive cutting action with delicate surface control. The dual-layer abrasive system provides self-sharpening characteristics as the outer layer wears, revealing fresh cutting edges from the secondary layer beneath. This intelligent design ensures consistent performance throughout the product's lifespan, making it ideal for critical finishing operations where consistency and quality are paramount. --- ## **Chemical Composition & Material Architecture** ### **Multi-Layer Construction** 1. **Core Material:** High-tenacity twisted polyester multifilament core (1500-denier) 2. **Primer Layer:** Modified epoxy-phenolic resin with flexibility enhancers 3. **Inner Abrasive Layer:** Aluminum oxide grains (62% concentration) oriented at 45° angle 4. **Bonding Layer:** Elastomeric polyurethane adhesive 5. **Outer Abrasive Layer:** Ceramic alumina grains (58% concentration) oriented at 135° angle 6. **Size Coat:** Reinforced phenolic resin with anti-loading additives 7. **Surface Treatment:** Polysiloxane coating for reduced friction and static control ### **Abrasive Specifications** * **Abrasive Types Available:** * **Standard:** Aluminum Oxide (inner) + Ceramic Alumina (outer) * **Premium:** Zirconia Alumina (inner) + Ceramic Alumina (outer) * **Specialized:** Silicon Carbide (both layers for non-ferrous applications) * **Grit Range:** P80 to P400 (medium to very fine) * **Grain Size Distribution:** Bi-modal distribution for optimal chip clearance * **Grain Bonding:** Dual electrostatic deposition with staggered orientation * **Cross-Section Geometry:** Oval profile (1.5:1 aspect ratio) for improved contact area ### **Physical Specifications** * **Cross-Section Dimensions:** * Small: 1.2mm × 1.8mm * Medium: 1.5mm × 2.2mm * Large: 2.0mm × 3.0mm * **Standard Lengths:** 30m, 50m, 100m spools * **Core Breaking Strength:** 120N (medium size) * **Color Coding:** Size-specific colors with lot identification stripes * **Packaging:** Anti-static plastic spools with integrated tension control, vacuum-sealed in foil barrier bags --- ##
