The Struers MD Nap Polishing Cloth is a 200 mm diameter consumable designed for fine and ultra-fine polishing in materialographic sample preparation. This napped textile cloth features magnetic backing for direct adhesion to MD-Disc carriers, enabling rapid attachment and removal within the MD-System workflow. Engineered to retain abrasive particles effectively down to 1 µm, the cloth delivers high material removal rates, short preparation cycles, and reproducible surface finishes across ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, and polymers.
