Nonwoven abrasive material roll

An abrasive surface treatment material, comprising:

• a web of lofty nonwoven material including 1000 grade and finer abrasive particles bonded thereto by a binder, wherein the abrasive particle add-on weight is 10-20 grains per 24 in2, wherein the density of the surface treatment material is less than 0.6 grams/in3, and wherein when tested according to the Scratch Test defined herein, provides an Ra of less than 10 microinches and a Bearing Ratio of from 15-50%.

A roll of lofty nonwoven abrasive surface treatment material spirally wrapped about a central axis into a roll, comprising:

• a web of lofty nonwoven material including 1000 grade and finer abrasive particles bonded thereto by a binder, wherein the abrasive particle add-on weight is 10-20 grains per 24 in2, wherein the density of the surface treatment material is less than 0.6 grams/in3, wherein when tested according to the Scratch Test defined herein, provides an Ra of less than 10 microinches and a Bearing Ratio of from 15-50%, wherein successive wraps of the nonwoven material have interengaging surfaces sufficient to maintain the material in a spirally wrapped configuration, yet being readily separable, and including a plurality of longitudinally spaced and laterally disposed weakened areas across the nonwoven material, thereby defining a plurality of readily separable abrasive surface treatment material sections along the web.
