A natural occurring odorless mineral having its broadest use as an abrasive in polishing applications. An intimate mix of corundum and magnetite. The higher amounts of impurities and weaker internal structure than naturally occurring minerals has restricted its growth in new applications.
Emery is widely used in manufacturing of coated abrasives like emery cloth & emery paper. The typical self sharpening action of the emery grains with needle shaped grains and uniform grading make emery grains the first choice for use in this application.
