Abstract:
A method for making abrasive agglomerate particles comprising the steps of:a) forcing a composition comprising a radiation curable polymerizable binder precursor and a plurality of abrasive grains through a perforated substrate to form abrasive agglomerate precursor particles; b) separating the abrasive agglomerate precursor particles from the perforated substrate; and c) irradiating the abrasive agglomerate precursor particles, wherein radiation energy is transmitted from a radiation energy source to the abrasive agglomerate precursor particles to at least partially cure the binder precursor to provide abrasive agglomerate particles, and wherein the process components in steps a), b), and c) are spatially oriented in a vertical and consecutive manner.
