Resin Bond Mesh Superabrasives
Resin Bond diamond is recommended for vitrified bond and resin bond (phenolic and polyimide) systems.
It’s unique fracturing characteristic produces a free cutting action that provides optimal performance when machining nonferrous materials such as tungsten carbide, glass and a variety of ceramics.
Resin bond diamond clad with a metallic coating such as Nickel or Copper may provide additional tool life, as the metal coating improves heat dissipation and the enhanced coating texture improves particle retention in resin bond systems.

WWSA Resin Bond Mesh Product Types
 |
Highest friability resin bond diamond particles with a crystal structure that promotes microfracturing. Effective for high precision grinding applications where surface finish and form retention are critical factors. |
 |
RB-100 Economy grade semi-blocky resin bond diamond that is slightly more friable than a standard resin bond diamond. RB-100’s increased friability, coupled with its free cutting action, provides solid performance where cost is a key factor. |
 |
RB-150 Standard grade blocky resin bond diamond. This medium friability crystal demonstrates an ability to self sharpen which produces a free cutting action that is critical in maintaining the balance between tool life and grinding performance. |
 |
RB-200 Premium grade blocky resin bond diamond that is the least friable in our family of resin bond diamond products. Controlled micro-fracturing produces a free cutting action while requiring more force per grain to generate new cutting edges vs. the RB-150. |

Electroless Coatings
Electroless Coatings are widely used to enhance the mechanical retention of the diamond in phenolic and polyimide resin bond systems. The durable bond between the Nickel or Copper and the crystal provides excellent heat dissipation and increased particle retention in the bond system, thus improving wheel life and workpiece integrity.
Standard Nickel Coated 30% and 56% (by weight), and Copper Coated 50% (by weight) are available for all Resin Bond products:
