GRIER-TEX is a cotton fiber abrasive. It is the result of laminating non-woven cotton fiber with various grains and bonds to achieve varying characteristics. GRIER-TEX works well on both ferrous and non-ferrous materials, but works extremely well on stainless steel. GRIER-TEX runs quiet, smooth and cool with virtually no loading. The non-loading aspect is ideal for working with softer metals, such as aluminum.
