In the world of tile production, achieving a flawless, high-gloss finish is a pinnacle of excellence. This is where BASAIR's Lappato abrasives come into play, revolutionizing the industry with their precision and quality. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you understand and utilize these specialized tools.

What is a Lappato Abrasive?

Lappato abrasives are not ordinary abrasives; they are tailored solutions designed specifically for polishing and honing ceramic and stone surfaces, particularly in tile production. These abrasives, often infused with diamond resin, create a unique finish that is neither fully polished nor entirely matte, but a perfect balance of both.

Key Features of BASAIR Lappato Abrasives

Material Quality

• Made from high-quality materials such as diamond powder and durable binders, ensuring a longer lifespan and better performance.

Shape and Size

• Typically rectangular, available in sizes of 90mm, 140mm, and 170mm to cater to different tile dimensions.

Surface Features

• The working surface has multiple cylindrical protrusions, which help in achieving a smooth and even texture.

Grit Range

• Available in grit sizes from 60 to 8000 mesh, allowing for different levels of polishing, from rough to mirror-like finishes.

The Lappato Finish: A Blend of Elegance and Durability

The lappato finish is characterized by its glossy yet textured appearance, adding an elegant and depthful look to your ceramic tiles. This finish is achieved through the gradual removal of material from the tile surface, leaving a smooth and even texture. The diamond resin in these abrasives ensures fine polishing and honing, while water lubrication helps control temperature and prevent overheating.

Choosing the Right Lappato Abrasive

Tool Type and Size

• Different types of lappato abrasive tools, such as pads, discs, and brushes, can produce varying finishes. The size and shape of the tiles you are working with also play a significant role.
