15U708 - Walter Enduro-Flex ALU 7-Inch Aluminum Flap Disc Grit 80

High-Performance Aluminum Blending Solutions

The Walter Enduro-Flex ALU™ 7" x 7/8" Grit 80 Flap Disc (SKU: 15U708) represents a significant advancement in abrasive technology specifically engineered for industrial aluminum fabrication. In high-volume manufacturing and maintenance environments, processing soft, non-ferrous metals like aluminum often presents a unique set of challenges—primarily the rapid loading and glazing of standard abrasives. When a disc clogs, it stops cutting, generates excessive heat, and forces the operator to discard the consumable prematurely, leading to increased waste and downtime. The Enduro-Flex ALU™ addresses this critical inefficiency with a proprietary coating formulation that actively prevents the adhesion of soft metal particles to the abrasive surface.

Constructed with a premium zirconia alumina grain blend, this flap disc delivers an exceptional removal rate while maintaining a consistent finish throughout its lifecycle. For procurement managers and shop supervisors, the value proposition is further enhanced by Walter's innovative Eco-Trim™ backing technology. Unlike traditional fiberglass backings that must be discarded once the flap overhang is worn down, the Eco-Trim™ backing is made from a trimmable composite material. This allows the operator to trim the backing edge, exposing fresh abrasive flaps that would otherwise go unused. This feature can extend the usable life of the disc by up to three times compared to standard competitors, resulting in substantial cost savings per grind.

Safety and quality control are paramount in industrial applications. The Enduro-Flex ALU™ is guaranteed free of iron, sulfur, and chlorine (Fe, S, Cl < 0.1%), ensuring that it will not contaminate the workpiece or induce corrosion issues in sensitive applications such as aerospace, marine, or food processing equipment fabrication. By maintaining a cool cutting action and preventing heat buildup, it also protects the structural integrity of heat-sensitive aluminum alloys. Equip your facility with the 15U708 to maximize productivity and minimize consumable turnover.

Key Industrial Benefits

• Cost Efficiency: Trimmable backing utilizes more of the abrasive material.
• Productivity: Resists clogging, reducing time spent changing discs.
• Quality Assurance: Contaminant-free for certified welding applications.
