Patent ID: 8349406

Claim:
A method of forming a coated abrasive product, comprising: mixing a binder formulation with abrasive grains to form an abrasive dispersion, the binder formulation comprising a mixture of first and second binder components, wherein the first binder component is radiation curable and the second binder component comprises a powder and is thermally curable, the second binder included in an amount sufficient to modify the rheological properties of the binder formulation, wherein the first binder component an epoxy acrylate component, and wherein the second binder component is a phenolic resin, an acrylic resin, or polyester resin; coating a substrate with the abrasive dispersion to form a coated intermediate product; patterning the coated intermediate product; irradiating the coated intermediate product to cure the first binder component following patterning; and thermally treating the coated intermediate product to cure the second binder component following patterning.
