Non-metal abrasives are widely valued for their ability to provide fine finishes while minimizing the risk of heat damage to delicate surfaces. Materials such as aluminum oxide and silicon carbide are particularly effective at sanding and grinding hard substances without causing contamination, which is crucial in industries requiring high levels of precision. Additionally, non-metal abrasives often generate less dust and debris, contributing to a cleaner work environment. Their versatility makes them suitable for various applications, including woodworking, automotive refinishing, and glass processing.
