Abrasives are generally classified as natural or synthetic.
The key characteristics include:
- Particle size (maximum size and size distribution)
- Shape (rounded, angular etc.)
- Density
- Hardness (value expressed in Mohs)
Mohs is a scale of hardness (1 – 10) where a higher number denotes a greater resistance to scratching.
(e.g. copper coin - 5, window glass - 6 & diamond - 10)
