Matte Resin Bond Frankfurt Diamond Abrasive

These matte-finish resin Frankfurt abrasive blocks share the same dimensions as standard high-gloss "horseshoe" blocks (standard 140×70×20mm, compatible with global automatic continuous Frankfurt-style grinding heads). They are manufactured by pressing and curing a matrix of low-hardness, porous modified phenolic resin with fine diamond powder. Designed specifically to produce a uniform, soft matte or antique/satin finish on stone slabs-without creating a mirror-like gloss-they serve as a key consumable for the mass production of matte-finish stone and act as a complete replacement for high-gloss resin blocks and traditional silicon carbide antique-finish blocks.

Raw Materials and Formulation Design (Key differences from high-gloss resin blocks)
1 Resin Matrix Formulation (Key differentiator)
Utilizes a high-toughness, low-hardness, porous resin system. The cured hardness is intentionally kept low to ensure a faster wear rate and a soft grinding feel; unlike high-hardness, high-gloss resin blocks, it does not become increasingly shiny with continued polishing. Large amounts of talc, silica powder, and soft fillers are incorporated to reduce cutting aggressiveness and create a fine, matte texture.
 

2 Diamond Configuration
Uses diamond grades with moderate toughness and lower concentrations compared to high-gloss polishing blocks; avoids high-strength, sharp single-crystal diamonds to prevent deep scratches on the slab surface. Grit sizes are specifically matched to the matte finish grade, excluding ultra-fine powders.

3 Absence of Hard Reinforcing Fillers
Does not contain large quantities of hard aggregates like aluminum oxide or silicon carbide, preventing uneven wear patterns (light and dark spots).

Gloss measured using a gloss meter (60° angle)
1 Coarse Antique Matte (240#)
Distinct matte texture; gloss level 10°–18°. Commonly used for thick granite exterior cladding and restoring antique finishes on flamed slabs.
 

2 Medium Soft Matte (400#)
The most popular, mainstream option; fine, uniform texture; gloss level 20°–30°. Widely used for Turkish beige marble, general marble, granite flooring, and kitchen countertops.
 

3 Fine Soft Matte (600#)
Minimal visible scratch marks; smooth, fine surface with low reflectivity; gloss level 30°–40°. Preferred choice for high-end hotel interior walls, villa countertops, and soft-finish "luxury stone" applications.

Matte Processing Rule: Stop the line and unload the product immediately after grinding to the target matte grit size. Do not proceed to high-gloss blocks (e.g., 800#, 1500#, 3000#), as using them will eliminate the matte effect.

Tips: The above information is based on our company's standards in the Shuitou stone market. For stones from other regions, please consult our customer service personnel.

1 Suitable for both hard and soft stone
Hard stone: Granite, engineered quartz, and agglomerated stone consistently achieve a matte finish without pitting or gouging.
Soft stone: Varieties such as Ultraman, White Magnolia, Castle Grey, and various luxury stones; the soft resin matrix prevents scratching and does not corrode the stone's base color.
 

2 Universal dimensions; no equipment modification required
The mounting interface, dimensions (length, width, thickness), and profile match those of high-gloss "horseshoe" abrasive pads 1:1. Production lines require only a pad swap-no adjustment to the grinding head structure is needed-allowing the same machine to switch between high-gloss and matte production orders at any time.
 

3 Superior wear resistance compared to magnesite or silicon carbide antique-finish pads
Service life is more than three times that of magnesite pads; the low frequency of tool changes during 24-hour continuous mass production significantly reduces labor costs associated with downtime. They offer higher tolerance for dry or low-water conditions and are resistant to pulverization or cracking.
 

4 Processing efficiency optimized for high-speed production lines
Compatible with modern, wide-format, high-speed continuous slab grinding lines; consistent matte texture is maintained even at high conveyor speeds, making them ideal for large-scale projects covering tens of thousands of square meters.
 

5 Enhanced adhesion for subsequent sealing and waxing
The micro-textured matte surface firmly anchors waterproofing sealers and stone waxes; unlike high-gloss mirror finishes-from which coatings can easily slip or peel-matte slabs offer superior durability for protective treatments.
