How To Choose The Appropriate Fickert Abrasive Blocks

Whether it's controlling the gloss in stone polishing or protecting the glaze and texture during ceramic processing, Fickert Abrasive Blocks consistently balance efficiency and quality through "material property matching + processing parameter optimization." This not only reduces rework and waste but also makes them a cost-effective tool of choice in the building material polishing industry.

For granite polishing, the preferred grit combination is 180# + 600# + 2000#. Given granite's high hardness, the 180# grit (coarse grinding) is critical for its sharp, fast-cutting performance-effectively removing scratches and shaping the surface. For fine grinding, opt for a grit no lower than 1500# (with 2000# recommended) to ensure a consistent, high-gloss finish.

Fickert Abrasive Blocks are engineered to avoid common granite polishing issues: their resin-bonded soft grinding layer eliminates edge chipping, while the 140mm standard length ensures tight adhesion to granite (and quartz stone) surfaces. This design delivers uniform pressure throughout the polishing process, preventing uneven wear or surface damage

When polishing glazed tiles with Ficket Abrasive Blocks, there's no need to worry about the glaze layer thinning. This is because the abrasive particles are highly uniform-3000-grit fine grinding only targets small defects on the glaze surface, removing a maximum thickness of 0.02mm, which has no impact on the glaze's original stain resistance, wear resistance, or service life.

For polishing large-format sintered stone (slabs), choose Ficket Abrasive Blocks with a 140mm length. When used with the "multi-grinding-head synchronous operation" mode of fully automated production lines, the abrasive blocks maintain consistent contact with the slab surface at all times. This prevents local depressions or bulges, keeping the flatness error within 0.1mm per meter.
