Helping you find the best solution
Based on the most up-to-date quality standards, we design and manufacture elastic-bonded abrasives for nearly all metal polishing and finishing processes.
Our aim is to find the best solutions to finishing problems by close customer contact and service, thereby maintaining our clients and our own leading position in industrial markets.
The statement “Quality made in Germany” implies precision, productivity, reliability and economic viability. Our goal is to meet every customer’s requirements.
Elastic-bonded abrasives are particularly suited for applications where conventional vitrified and resin-bonded grinding wheels offer no improvement in surface finish.

Elastic Bonded Abrasives
Artifex abrasives comprise either silicon carbide or aluminous oxide abrasive grain, supported in a foamed polyurethane or rubber flexible matrix. The bespoke combination of bonding and abrasive facilitate the desired surface finish. For any particular requirement these elastic-bonded tools are available in soft, medium and hard densities, but always in a flexible bonding.
View Products Peripheral Wheels
Artifex wheels are available in a range of hardness grades for each individual grit size. The choice of grades provides a wide spectrum of performance, ranging from high removal (hard bond) to ultra-fine surface finish (soft bond). Green wheels are for fine finishing of metal applications.
View Products Polishing and Abrasive Blocks
Abrasive blocks are much more durable than conventional sanding blocks because fresh abrasive grit is constantly brought to bear on the work piece. The surface finish achieved with Artifex tools is therefore consistent throughout the entire service life of the tool. (Not all blocks are available with sleeves.) These blocks are used for cleaning surfaces on EDM machines.
View Products Mounted Points and Ring Cones
Mounted points are used with electric of pneumatic power tools. The process can be carried out either wet or dry. Ring cones are abrasives tools made for deburring, polishing and fine finishing for all kinds of jewelry.

You have the surfaces – we take care of the finish. Our products are always called for when surfaces cannot be further refined with conventional vitrified or resin-bonded grinding wheels. Contrary to abrasive belts, they can also be used to finish hard to reach surfaces.

Artifex develops new products in response to customer needs. Customers and prospective customers are encouraged to take advantage of Abtex’ applications laboratory. There, Abtex engineers can process your sample parts to demonstrate the finishes available with Artifex products.
