    Premium-Quality 2 x 48” Sanding Belts From Red Label

    2 x 48 inches is one of the most popular belt sander sizes. Red Label Abrasives produces a wide array of premium-quality 2 x 48” sanding belts, so that you can restock on all of the belts you need for your sanding applications. 

    Types Of Sanding Belts Available In A 2 x 48” Size

    Red Label Abrasives manufactures several different types of 2 x 48 inch sanding belts. You can read a brief description of each type of sanding belt below. Our abrasive technicians can also help you determine the best type of belt for your application. 

    • Open Coat Aluminum Oxide: Open coat aluminum oxide leaves more space in-between the aluminum oxide grains to allow for greater air flow. The additional space keeps sanding surfaces cool and helps to prevent clogging. Open coat aluminum oxide sanding belts are designed for softer materials like soft woods. 
    • Closed Coat Aluminum Oxide: Closed coat aluminum oxide offers more abrasive grain coverage than open coat aluminum oxide, which provides a more aggressive cut. Closed coat aluminum oxide is designed to sand harder materials like hardwoods and metals. 
    • Zirconia: Zirconia is a good mid-tier abrasive grain. It’s not as strong as ceramic, but it is stronger and longer-lasting than aluminum oxide. Zirconia strikes a nice balance between performance and affordability. It works best on harder materials like hardwoods and metals. 
    • Ceramic: Ceramic is one of the strongest abrasive grains in existence. It works well for sanding harder materials like hardwoods and metals. Ceramic sanding belts do cost more than zirconia and aluminum oxide sanding belts, but you end up saving money in the long run, because ceramic belts last significantly longer than both aluminum oxide and zirconia sanding belts. 
    • Silicon Carbide: Silicon carbide is a specialty abrasive grain. What silicon carbide lacks in longevity it makes up for in consistency. Silicon carbide sanding belts are known for producing a smooth, consistent cut. Silicon carbide belts also do not produce excessive heat during use and are therefore preferred for heat sensitive materials like glass, marble, and garnet. 
    • Flexible sanding belts: Flexible sanding belts are made with a flexible cloth backing that allows the belt edges to curve with pressure. The ability to flex makes flexible belts perfect for sanding curved edges and round surfaces. The belt will curve to match the surface, so that you end up with a smooth, uniform finish.  
    • Non Woven Polishing/Buffing: Non woven polishing and buffing belts are produced with an open web material that can easily hone, buff, sharpen, and polish metal. These belts are a cost effective alternative to using leather strop belts.
