Abstract
A polishing pad for polishing glass and the like has a working layer with a plurality of polishing grains, an attaching layer with which the polishing pad is attachable to a polishing head of a power tool, and a connection layer which connects the working layer, with the attaching layer, and the connection layer is composed of vulcanizable material, which is vulcanized at certain temperature and under certain pressure and thereby connects the working layer with the attaching layer.
Claims4
A polishing pad for polishing glass and the like, comprising a working layer including a heat hardening adhesive material with a plurality of abrasive grains in it and a heat hardenable body;
- an attaching layer with which the polishing pad is attachable to a polishing head of a power tool;
- and a connection layer which connects said working layer with said attaching layer, said connection layer being located between said body of said working layer and said attaching layer and composed of vulcanizable material, said adhesive and said body of said working layer and said connection layer being composed of materials such that said adhesive of said working layer are hardenable and said connection layer is vulcanizable substantially at a same temperature and substantially with a same pressure.
A method of producing a polishing pads comprising the steps of providing a working layer including an adhesive material with a plurality of abrasive grains and a heat hardenable body;
- providing an attaching layer for attaching said working layer to a polishing head of a power tool;
- and connecting with said working layer to said attaching layer by a vulcanizable connection layer located between the body of said working layer and the attaching layer, under the action of and substantially a same pressure temperature which provide hardening of the adhesive material and the body of the working layer and vulcanization of the connection layer.
