🔧 Graphite Cloth for Sanding Belt Platens – Dry Lubrication for Heat Control

Enhance the performance and durability of your belt sander with graphite cloth, designed to be fixed to sanding machine platens to act as a dry lubricant. This high-efficiency material helps reduce heat buildup, minimizes friction, and lessens load on electric motors, extending the life of both your abrasive belts and the sander itself.

By reducing wear and operating temperatures at key pressure points, graphite cloth offers a practical and affordable solution for improving belt sanding operations in woodworking, metal fabrication, and industrial finishing environments.

✅ Key Benefits:

• Dry graphite-impregnated backing lubricates abrasive belts

• Reduces heat and friction at the contact point

• Helps prolong belt life and preserve machine components

• Decreases motor strain – supports longer machine life

• Easy to install using adhesive spray (sold separately)

• Available in 2 metre and 10 metre roll sizes

• Ideal for use behind both sanding belts and discs

🔧 Tip: Replace graphite cloth regularly for optimal abrasive belt performance.

📦 Available Sizes:

• 2 Metre Rolls – convenient for smaller machines or occasional use

• 10 Metre Rolls – cost-effective for larger operations or frequent replacement

🛠️ Recommended Use:

1. Cut graphite cloth to fit the platen surface

2. Fix securely using MHG450 Adhesive Spray (sold separately)

3. Replace when visibly worn or performance drops

4. Use behind sanding belts or discs to:

   • ✔️ Increase abrasive belt lifespan

   • ✔️ Improve cut consistency

   • ✔️ Minimise heat transfer to workpiece
