Discover the next level in surface finishing with 3M™ Trizact™ abrasives, engineered using advanced microreplication and macroreplication technologies. Designed for high-performance metalworking applications, Trizact abrasives deliver exceptional control, consistency, and surface quality—reducing steps, time, and cost in your finishing workflow.
🔬 What Is Microreplication?
Trizact Microreplication is the precision-engineered process of forming identical pyramid-shaped abrasive structures. Each grain is:
-
Uniform in height
-
Evenly spaced
-
Perfectly calibrated
This ensures controlled surface contact, consistent finish depth, and minimal risk of deep scratches or gouging—even on delicate materials. Microreplicated abrasives renew continuously, revealing fresh abrasive layers for extended performance and minimal pressure during use.
🧱 What Is Macroreplication?
Trizact Macroreplication forms 3D structures using compressed abrasive grains, evenly distributed over the entire disc or belt. This design allows:
-
Stable cutting action
-
Uniform wear
-
Predictable material removal rates
🛠️ Trizact Abrasives – Application Areas
Trizact abrasives are purpose-built for precision finishing, especially on:
-
Hard-to-process metals like titanium, cobalt, and stainless steel
-
Exotic alloys used in aerospace, medical, and industrial engineering
-
Non-ferrous metals like aluminium, bronze, and copper
-
Composite and synthetic materials in automotive and manufacturing
🔎 Note: Trizact is designed for finishing and polishing, not for heavy-duty deburring tasks.
