Abrasives
Bona US
The Bona Abrasives line includes aggressive and long-lasting abrasives designed to create an excellent surface for staining or finishing, the company says. The anti-static properties of Bona Blue Abrasives repel dust from the disc surface and prevent build-up while increasing belt life and keeping machines cleaner, the company adds.

Norton Abrasives
The design of the Norton SandDollar discs makes conventional between-coats sanding obsolete, the company says. The abrasive-covered foam pad abrades the surface without penetrating deep into the finish, resulting in a floor without swirl marks. Extremely durable and tear-resistant, SandDollar pads last up to 1,500 square feet per pad, the company says.
