What are J-Flex sanding belts?
There's a unique product category that floats around when you're looking at abrasives: "J-Flex". But, What are J-Flex sanding belts? Do they cost more? Is it worth it?
Simply put, Hermes' J-Flex belts are specially-made belts constructed to last longer because they resist heating more than other sanding belts and because they are backed with fabric which will resist higher-pressure. Heating (as some of you may have experienced) may cause discoloration of steel and can also kill a sanding belt very quickly. Hermes puts it this way:
J-Flex Sanding Belt Benefits
Highly economical due to low overall grinding costs
Low grinding temperatures due to additional cooling additives (up to +220)
Tear resistant backing in the transverse direction, reduces risk of belt breakage on robotic applications
The low-strain backing ensures belt runs smoothly
High adaptability to contours due to flexible synthetic fabric combined with a high elasticity
