Segmented Flap Discs

Unbeatable technology and performance

The first flap discs for high-speed angle grinders were developed at the end of the 1970s. More than 30 years of experience and unbeatable technology go into the manufacture of every CS Unitec flap disc. In terms of material removal capacity, service life and grinding quality, the flap discs that bear the brand PLANTEX® TIGER SHARK – plus the newest development, PLANTEX®, made of hemp fiber high-tech compound – are among the best in the world.

Longer, faster and better grinding

These pictures show the clear difference between a CS Unitec flap disc with hard-pressed flaps (top) and a standard flap disc with fiberglass backing and unpressed flaps (bottom). The poorly pressed disc tends to “chatter” during the grinding process, generating vibrations and resulting in the grit pulling away from the mounting prematurely. This results in:

• Irregular grinding
• Poor grinding capacity
• Short service life
• Potential flap tearing
