Abralon

[bowl1820]

Never heard of Saair pads. Are they any similar to abralon, besides you saying they last longer?

There is no practical difference between Abralon and Siaair when new. Both use European FEPA grading (The P Scale)

Abralon uses silicon carbide as its abrasive, Siaair uses aluminum oxide as the abrasive.

Siaair lasts a little longer.

Some quick google searches, I'm sure there is better info out there though:

I knew, KNEW, that while I looked those up you'd post this...

And you're right, this is essentially what both links can be summed up to.

Thanks for the answer, and the videos. Seems like there a several types of abralon. Ugh so much to understand
