Thanks to its advantages in quality and affordability, sisal is widely used in metal polishing processes. So, what exactly is sisal, and where can users purchase high-quality sisal products? 

Details are provided below.

What is Sisal?

Sisal, also known as sisal wheel or sisal buffing wheel. Additionally, in some regions, it is referred to by other names such as coconut fiber wheel, abrasive wheel, stone wheel, coconut fiber buff, sand rolling wheel, etc. The material is named “sisal” because its main raw material is derived from the sisal plant – a type of plant widely cultivated in China and Brazil. To produce sisal wheels for consumers, workers harvest raw sisal fibers from the plant, then separate the fibers and process them into thin sisal sheets.

The thin sisal sheets, after being dried, are sewn together to form sisal wheels with an average thickness of 0.5 – 1 cm and a diameter ranging from 30 – 300 cm. In the center of each sisal wheel, technicians create a round hole to allow easy attachment to grinding and polishing machines.

Sisal wheels are formed by stitching stacked layers of sisal fabric together.

How many types of sisal wheels are there?

Based on their structural characteristics, sisal wheels can be divided into two main types: sisal wheels with cotton cloth layers between the sisal layers and sisal wheels without cotton cloth layers in between

Based on their intended use, sisal wheels are categorized according to the required hardness level. The hardness of different sisal wheels is distinguished by color, specifically as follows:

  • Green sisal wheel: This is the hardest type of sisal wheel, commonly used for coarse polishing (cutting).
  • Yellow sisal wheel: This type has medium hardness and is flexibly used for multiple purposes.
  • White sisal wheel: This is the softest type of sisal wheel, typically used for fine polishing (mirror finish) in the final stage.

Exploring the advantages and disadvantages of sisal wheels

Sisal wheels are abrasive polishing materials widely used in metal polishing processes. Using sisal wheels for polishing offers outstanding advantages such as:

  • Quickly removes excess material, making the product smoother and shinier.
  • Features tightly woven, durable fabric fibers, offering high longevity and excellent polishing performance.
  • Reasonably priced with a wide variety of options, allowing businesses and users to optimize metal polishing and production costs.
  • Easy to use with simple operation, requiring minimal technical skills.
  • Made from natural materials, ensuring user safety and environmental friendliness.

However, sisal wheels can be easily damaged when exposed to high humidity environments, especially in the northern climate. Therefore, careful and proper storage of sisal wheels is essential.
