Method of making a coated abrasive article and coated abrasive article

A method of making a coated abrasive article, the method comprising:

• providing a backing having first and second opposed major surfaces;
• disposing a precursor make layer on the first major surface of the backing, wherein the precursor make layer comprises an at least partially cured reaction product of components comprising:
• a) 50 to 97.99 percent by weight of phenol-formaldehyde resin;
• b) 1 to 49 percent by weight of resorcinol-formaldehyde resin;
• c) 1 to 49 percent by weight of at least one compound having at least one free-radically polymerizable group;
• d) 0.01 to 1 percent by weight of a free-radical initiator;
• and
• e) optionally, a filler,
• wherein the percent by weight of the components a) to d) is based on the combined weight of the components a) to d);
• and
• optionally partially curing the precursor make layer to provide a partially cured precursor make layer;
• and
• partially embedding abrasive particles in the optionally partially cured precursor make layer;
• and further curing the optionally partially cured precursor make layer to provide a further cured precursor make layer.
